We reflect on our achievements supported by a fully fledged Digital journey empowering us to forge ahead. Our Studios have soft opened and are slowly but surely returning to a better normal. Our flag ship Rumba in The Jungle was cancelled, but we are happy to report that our documentary, Rumba in the Jungle, The Return, screened at the Encounters International Film Festival recently.
