'Cook Off', the story of a single mother who finds love in a cooking competition marks the Zimbabwean film industry's Netflix debut

HARARE - Zimbabwean film Cook Off, a romance about a struggling single mother who finds love during a cooking competition, premiered on Netflix on Monday, a debut that its makers hope will propel the country’s small film sector to global audiences.

“I wanted the world to know that there is more to Zimbabwe than what they hear. We also fall in love, we also enjoy nice food. We also have very nice stories,” said Njagu. The low budget film was shot in 2017 but very few people in Zimbabwe had heard of it, even after it won several awards at international film festivals, including in the Netherlands, Durban and United States.

Inspiring to see the Zimbabwean film industry boom against all odds...

I heard America has blamed BlackLivesMattters on Zimbabwean.. funny.

library, educational programs

I will add this to my list, looks great.

I'm 100% sure this movie is making a debut for other 'political' reasons.

ObamasHollywood Look at how Zimbabweans suffer today as a result of independence and tribal changes. No one, wants to talk about this, though.
