“The message of the film will cut across all social classes and age ranges.”
Goko said Tozeza Baba was inspired by socio-economic challenges experienced in the country around 2009.
“It was written and directed by Oscar Lwalwe and co-produced by myself and Blessing Dirwayi.”
He said the production of the drama started in March 2021 and Tungundu Media recruited experienced actors and actresses.
“We also managed to hire production companies such as VT Studios and Gart Media with film /video equipment at no cost since we agreed contracts of getting some percentage after selling the product,” Goko said.
The scenes were shot in Harare’s Waterfalls and Sunningdale suburbs.
