Be on lookout for ‘Riding with Sugar’

Afrocentric, inherently cool feature film Riding with Sugar has started shooting in Cape Town and promises to be a visual masterpiece.

Written and directed by top filmmaker Sunu Gonera, the movie is a coming-of-age, feel-good story about a young refugee who, despite many setbacks, finds his way, love and a chance to create a better life in Cape Town. It features Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Mambo and Simona Brown as Olivia, both pictured.

In true Gonera style, the film will have a unique African aesthetic with powerful, visually rich scenes.

With a British, Kenyan, Nigerian and SA cast, its 2019 release promises to be huge in SA, the continent and internationally. – Citizen reporter
