Tanzanian feature film Vuta N’kuvute (Swahili for tug of war) premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 46th edition. It is based on an adaptation of Adam Shafi’s 1950s romantic political drama novel — a high school set book — with the same title and is the first Bongo film to be featured at the festival.
The romantic story happens in the background of British rule and local militancy in the struggle for political liberation. The film was shot entirely in Stone Town.
