455: Director Zamo Mkhwanazi of 'Laundry'

In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we welcome filmmaker Zamo Mkhwanazi. Making her feature debut, her movie Laundry will premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival under the Discovery selection. Filmmaker Zamo Mkhwanazi’s quietly powerful debut Laundry crafts an intimate portrait of a Black family navigating the uneasy privileges and hidden costs of exemption within the violently unequal system of apartheid South Africa. The film is set in 1968, the same year that negative international opinion against apartheid fomented during the Summer Olympics but 26 years before the end of the institution. Host: Jamie Broadnax Edited by: Jamie Broadnax Music by: Sammus For more information on when and where to screen Laundry go here . The 2025 Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept 4-14th.
