Pumzi

This film certainly deserved to be screened at Sundance Film Festival. Not only was this a great film highlighting the modern third world struggle creatively combined with a sci-fi aspect, the film itself raised the bar for up and coming African filmmakers. Reading more into the film, I found that female director Wanuri Kahiu researched classic 1950's films to combine the functional art of African culture with classic techniques of matte painting. Overall, the film was excellent in my opinion, and I enjoyed the revolutionary, trail blazing attitude that it brought.
