Vibanda Vya Videos...

If you Tanzanian, you musta heard about or seen these Vibandas where people watch those action movies,Indian Movies...etc...I've seen em around, but do you know about the translators...the ones who translate the whole movies to swahili and add a little twist to make it more interesting...
VeeJays der Film, a documentary from Johannes Guttenberg University, Mainz, premiered  in April and is a closer look at Tanzania's “vibanda vya videos” (video parlours)  people gather and watch  movies narrated in swahili by veejays.
