Botswana films to be commemorated

This is a new feature in the Maitisong calendar and it is meant to celebrate local film production, which is still in its infancy. Lined up for the festival are political documentaries that were screened on Btv in 2005.

They include a documentary on the ailing former BNF leader, Dr Kenneth Koma, former president Sir Ketumile Masire, and retired politician, Motsamai Mpho. The documentaries, according to the director of the film festival, Moabi Mogorosi, are meant to celebrate the achievements of the politicians he describes as "legends."
