Internationally acclaimed filmmaker talks about his upcoming film

We were also joined by Francois Verster - Internationally acclaimed South African documentary filmmaker speaking to us about the making of a new locally-produced film, The Dream of Shahrazad. The film celebrates the legacy of Shahrazad and the NIGHTS in the context of current ongoing events, and looks at how storytelling and other art forms interact with political change. Weaving together a web of music, politics and storytelling, the film follows a series of unforgettable characters, all of whom draw their inspiration from the NIGHTS and whom, like Shahrazad, put creativity to new political use thereby opposing violence, misogyny and other forms of oppression.
