Kenyan movie concept Wavamizi received international recognition after being listed in the 2020 Durban Film Mart (DFM) for funding.
Wavamizi translates to Invaders in English and tells the saga of the Portuguese occupation of Mombasa and how the locals revolted led by the son of a Sultan.
The project is yet to be produced into a movie with only a proof of concept shot which has now been listed at the Durban Film Mart to get funds for the production of the full film.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Shirleen Wangari alias Shish from her role in Citizen TV show Tahidi High, who is the one of the producers of the film expressed her delight after being listed at DFM and hopes the team can secure funding to complete the project.
"As a producer, your aim is to get a project done start to finish. With this opportunity we get to meet people interested in the same vision hence moving the project forward towards completion," she noted.
The Portuguese occupation of Mombasa is perhaps one of the biggest stories in African history that is yet to be extensively narrated in a movie.
