This is a feature-length ethnographic film on the life of Zimbabwe’s gospel music legend, Machanic Manyeruke, considered by many the “father” of gospel music in Zimbabwe. An intimate film about family, faith, culture and music exploring the sources of Manyeruke’s persistently popular music, its impact in contextualizing Christian faith in local Shona culture, and how his music, and his very person, reflect fundamental forces of Christian growth in Zimbabwe and other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.
