The Namibian-produced documentary Omusati Echoes has premiered in Zambia's capital, Lusaka.

A large audience, mainly young people, filled the Ster-Kinekor auditorium at Manda Hill, one of Lusaka's major shopping centres, for the screening.

The production team behind Omusati Echoes held a series of engagements in Lusaka on Friday ahead of the documentary's screening.

The team first paid a courtesy call on Namibia's High Commissioner to Zambia, Goms Menette.

Executive Producer Morna Ikosa and Film Director Oshoveli Shipo then appeared on several radio stations in Lusaka to promote the documentary and engage with the Zambian audience.

At Diamond TV, the duo spoke about the production and what inspired the documentary.

"When we went to shoot, we realised that it's not only one tribe in Omusati, it's a tribe, but the entire region. These people are really an inegma. To fast forward, we just had to share the story of Ndilimeke," expressed Ikosa.

A cocktail reception was also held ahead of the screening, bringing together Namibian and Zambian artists who exchanged ideas and discussed potential future collaborations.

Namibia's High Commissioner to Zambia, Goms Menette, also attended the event.

The documentary was later screened to a packed auditorium, with the audience following the story on the big screen.
