Movies: Best Movies in Shona(ChiShona)

Shona (Shona: chiShona) is a Bantu language of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. The term is variously used to collectively describe all the Central Shonic varieties (comprising Zezuru, Manyika, Korekore and Karanga) or specifically Standard Shona, a variety codified in the mid-20th century. Using the broader term, the language is spoken by over 14,000,000 people. The larger group of historically related languages—called Shona or Shonic languages by linguists—also includes Ndau (Eastern Shona) and Kalanga (Western Shona). In Guthrie's classification of Bantu languages, zone S.10 designates the Shonic group. ()

Shona is spoken in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia and 2 movies (between 2010 and 2014) with this language have been recorded so far. Most of these movies were shot in Denmark (1). Popular genres for Shona movies are Documentary (1). Democrats (2014) and The Tunnel (2010) are among the best known & most successful Shona movies.

Democrats(2014)

1h 40min | Documentary
3.4/5 (with 6 votes)

An intriguing look at an authoritarian state on the verge of democratization: how Zimbabwe got a new constitution. Two political enemies are forced on a joint mission to write Zimbabwe's new constitution. The ultimate test that will either take the country a decisive step closer to democracy and away from President Mugabe's dictatorship, or toward renewed repression. In a country with little respect for human rights, impeded by economic sanctions and hyperinflation running rampant, failure is not an option.
