A Nigerian, telling a South African story, and winning awards for it. How interesting.

The world out there would've been agog with cultural appropriation.
They'd never see it as cultural appreciation.

Kudos to Elvis Chucks for not only studying (people from) another culture, but also making a good movie out of it. That is passion.
