VETERAN actor and scriptwriter, Tendai Maduwa, is set to première his new movie, ‘‘The Villager’’, which tackles societal problems affecting the vulnerable.
The event will be held this Friday in Bulawayo. Maduwa said the movie was based on true life events and features popular names like Ben Sibenke, Hillary Indie, among other new faces.
“The movie is based on true life events and it features characters like Candice Nomthandazo Maduwa, Ben Sibenke, Hillary Indie, Rose Chirimo, Gamuchira Denenga Jimu, Mugove Muhambi, Mathias Kureva, Alletah Marufu, Besta Nyakujara, Reuben Mukucha and Steven Nyamuda, who are some of the new faces.
“It will premiere this Friday in Bulawayo,” he said.
The movie is a tale of an orphaned child, who endured a hard life.
“In the movie, just after giving birth to a baby boy, Christine died together with her husband, and left the orphaned child in the custody of a blind grandmother, when he was barely a few hours old.
“His story revolves around the mystery of his upbringing in a harsh world.
“The death of his grandmother, when he was 10, left him all alone, a mere boy who had to find a way in an unfriendly world.
“A journey to search for a way found him staying on the streets of Harare as a street kid where he finally found his purpose.
“The discovery of his existence, with the help of a seemingly hopeless street father, saw him becoming the greatest fighter of all times.
“After winning many championships and titles across the globe, he is yet to face the heavyweight title holder, but his crumbling marriage stands as a barrier,” he added.
