Inspiring documentar­y on Zim wine-tasting team

-

FOUR refugees who left Zimbabwe for South Africa separately discovered wine and subsequent­ly formed a friendship. And now, in “Blind Ambition”, affectiona­te documentar­y, they are about to compete as the first Zimbabwean team in what is described as “the Olympics of wine tasting”.

What gives this familiar underdog story its satisfying emotional weight is the care that the film-makers take in tracing the journeys of Joseph, Pardon, Tinashe and Marlvin from desperate migrants to skilled sommeliers in some of South Africa’s top restaurant­s. It helps that they are an uncommonly decent and likeable bunch. Marlvin, raised as a Pentecosta­l, giggles as he argues that, since Jesus turned water into wine, it must be OK to drink it.

Serious, ambitious Joseph is diligent about passing on opportunit­ies to the next wave of Zimbabwean refugees. It’s heart warming, inspiratio­nal stuff.

Meanwhile the emotional Black Panther 2 post-credits scene were leaked in detail ahead of première locally next week.

The first Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer that Marvel released was incredibly emotional, teasing the overall tone of the sequel. The movie will be an homage to Chadwick Boseman, who died before work on Black Panther 2 started. But T’Challa’s death and funeral will not be the only emotional events in the sequel.

The Wakanda Forever credits scene has already leaked, and we know what happens. Now we have a second leak that delivers a detailed account of it, teasing another big emotional moment for Wakanda Forever.

Before you check it out, you should know that big spoilers follow below. And unlike some Marvel leaks, this Wakanda Forever credits scene leak is almost certainly real.

The mods of the Marvel Studios Spoilers subreddit posted an incredibly detailed plot leak for Wakanda Forever. They explained that they “can confirm from what we have heard elsewhere that this is all true.”

We’ve already covered the plot leak in a separate post. But the Reddit user who shared the informatio­n did not initially reveal the Wakanda Forever credits scene. The person followed up via a comment detailing everything that happens in said scene. — theguardia­n/msn *
