About this campaign
This donation will help finance the making of Miriam Makeba, The Voice of Africa, a 90-minute cinedoc directed by South African director Mandla Dube and being produced by Millstream Films and Media.
This is a powerful story of resistance, passion, dedication, and tragedy, told through the eyes of Miriam Makeba—one of Africa's greatest singers and civil rights champions. Her music became the soundtrack for the decades-long fight to liberate Africa from colonialism. Despite repeated injustices, personal tragedy, and exile, she built a successful career as a top international performer, selling out some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls.
We're incredibly proud of this project, which captures a compelling story that has the support of Makeba's family estate and unprecedented records and archival.
