In this episode, we sit down with Omusula W. Omuholo , a PhD Researcher at the School of Journalism and Communication, University of Oregon exploring the intersection of language, culture, and identity in Zulu film. Omusula shares insights into her research, focusing on how language plays a crucial role in preserving and representing Zulu cultural identity in a globalized world. We delve into the complexities of indigenizing cultural identity, discussing the significance of indigenous languages, the impact of globalization, and the challenges faced by filmmakers in portraying African cultures authentically.
