Local film “Bokwagter,” produced by MultiChoice Namibia, has received two nominations at the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA). The prestigious AMAA ceremony is celebrating its 20th anniversary and will be held at the Balmoral Center in Ikeja, Nigeria.
Managing Director, of MultiChoice Namibia, Roger Gertze said as Africa’s most loved storyteller, they are delighted to see one of their films from the first phase of their local content project reach international heights.
“This achievement is a testament that more Namibian stories are capable of being taken to the world,” he added.
MultiChoice Namibia explained that Bokwagter centres around three young, orphaned brothers who live with their grandparents on a farm, where they must fight to protect themselves and their livelihood from a group of bandits.
Starring Tangi Nepolo, William Dias, who is featured in the young/promising actor category, along with Mathew Haipare and Megameno Shanika, this feel-good flick is available for viewing on Showmax, along with 12 films from the MultiChoice Namibia local content project.
