This is a feature film of a late Zambian freedom fighter and political rebel Admson Mushala’ who fought battles with the United National Independence Party (UNIP) under Kenneth Kaunda.
“The story of ‘Mushala’ is a one of heroes, villains, victims and survivors. Opinion is divided while some people call ‘Mushala’ a hero in the same breath some call him a monster. There is a lot of myth and speculation about his life and death,tales of politics, banditry magic,kidnappings,,rape, love legends truths and falsehoods,” says Angel Phiri a film producer and one of the people on the ‘ Mushala’ project.
The film will help narrate Zambian history and preserve the important part of our revolution as a nation. This film premières today at Freshview Cinemas, Levy mall, Garden City, Ndola and Livingstone.
“We are trying to narrate a story when Zambia was surrounded by frontline states and a time when both internal and external politics were raging. A time the world was experiencing the cold war. A time of new ideologies for the new nation. A difficult time for both home and foreign politics,” said Angel Phiri.
‘Mushala’ features some of Zambia’s prominent entertainers and actors notable among them is Leo Simukoko as Mushala, Bob Wilombe as Kenneth Kaunda, MC Wabwino as Christone Tembo and Kapembwa as radio presenter to name only a few.
