Surprisingly South Africa was mentioned during the US elections by Trump and Biden No images? Click here Hello In between writing today's newsletter, I was also watching Mogul Mowgli, a new film that released this past weekend in the UK. Featuring one of my favourite artists, Riz Ahmed, it tells the story of a rapper struggling to find his place. The movie will also be shown during the European Film Festival which is happening virtually this year from November 12-22. The festival has an excellent line-up of twelve brand new films, all of which are premiere screenings in South Africa. My review for Mogul Mowgli will be coming soon if you need any more reasons to check out the festival. If you have anything you'd like to share with me whether it's a story idea or interesting movies to watch, get in touch.
