Vice President Joice Mujuru yesterday applauded Zimbabwean filmmakers for taking the lead in telling the true African story from an African perspective saying the film will ensure a larger share of the continent's film making space.
She was speaking during the screening of a documentary, "Camarada Presidente", which depicts the life and death of the late Mozambican president Cde Samora Moises Machel at the 16th edition of the Zimbabwe International Film Festival in Harare last night.
The screening was graced by Machel's widow Graça and daughter Josina. Graca said she was elated that the first film on the life of her late husband was documented by Zimbabweans, a reflection of the ties between the two countries' liberation movements.
"It is the first film which is so comprehensive and it is appropriate that it is a Zimbabwean who made this film," she said. "It is my wish there will be someone to document the strong relationship between Zanu and Frelimo."
Graca Machel said this was crucial to ensure the young generation knew their liberation history and also to ensure that past mistakes were never repeated.
