influence to win so the fed can begin their vote so as this is not always selected for their political suits you but rather all of the abelard see to be paid and reach their goals far far just under. a little sliver that's when pushed. to the west you will. soon. look to still young men who do not believe. seriously politics. they would support. some. things like this in business. on the streets which. you might all be. dropped. from seventy one of them the most prominent among this hopeful news as characterized by the willingness to thailand are asked to party establishment and

by that age and social media campaigns are run even to sixty eight under the hostile not so young to run such see that in lowering the required age of the president for secret thirty five while the two main candidates. who want all that understand when. she when one of them take the president of the proclamation on less than twenty five years old companies have also been pushing people to get involved in the electron by signing up to the board and every call to leave at all is what seems to me on your part that the iraqis that will be. many out there will be spending time with. at told our adrian krishna he's confident of victory against one. so what makes you optimistic that this time around you will have got the majority of nigerians voting for you i was able to secure the ticket of the party in

a very very convincing manner. and then after that you know this is our laws state this was electioneering campaign has gone sun. we have been able to us as the us ability of the party and also the country due to the budget so that makes one really hopeful there's been many corruption allegations against you but you were never convicted by any court yet when you talk to ordinary nigerians is it here or in lagos many would say even your supporters they don't fully believe you that you were never in any form and off to question why do you think this conception of things give me the opportunity then before they got. you know they would have every reason to believe in me but why do you think this conception of still their position is there because my open is only as latched on to that so i mean any accusers on the be done all the time when the time is well and you know to deceive the additional people he said he would consider granting amnesty to looters if they

return stolen state funds do you think that is a right thing to do with many people would think that would be a sign of impunity for the future not necessarily but whatever. misty eyed him would be based on the rule of the country you know in order to go help provision for that you know laws. but is that something you're definitely going to do or something you're just considering something we could consider. different a little work to do but there's something we would consider the security situation has been deteriorating and parts of the country also here in the north east and recent weeks what is your assessment of the leadership of the security forces especially the military leadership have they been doing a good job was that something you will look into once if you if you will be elected as a present. and. our number one additions again is dimitri our caller. and there's his local true name a local that would be the military and. the necessary working conditions you know

for them to survive for as you know their lives to protect the people of this country so you have to guard all these issues in the list of mana and. all right here in berlin we're at the business end of the city's annual international film festival the billion dollar the eleven day showcase brings to give the stalls of international film and up and coming talent from around the world like kenyan screenwriter gun being teco who this week picked up yet another award for this film supermoto the film tells the story of a terminally ill nine year old whose wishes of becoming a superhero of the filled with the help of the family and villages. eighty micah genius sat down with gumby tea got to talk about all things african film but first it's take a peek at the film that's making waves troll. isn't close to doing anything because i won the six point two best he was sent to the chapel she was

a little kid wasn't the two hundred eleven on the congress was getting up there was about. to fall. he said i guess it's down.

we did not expect. that supermodel was going to take on the life that he did on the festival circuit. i didn't even expect when i was sitting in the room during the premiere it was going to carry that we did in an audience in once in a mall and it's received so much applause and received ovations and their flaws just went on and on for about five minutes straight and it was only interrupted by the fact that there's a little scene after the credits that it plays and i mean it was just spectacular i think the thing that carries about it is that it's such a heart warming film about triumph over adversity the power of community and the productiveness of the film being

a little go who succeeds against all odds to show everyone that it's possible to follow your dreams and be who you want to be against all these enormous audience has a lot of people. just reminded again about what the power of cinema is there's a school of thought that for african movie to be world class you sort of have to copy western standards to be able to reach the international market or international audience. how true or not totally untrue but one day is a superhero film this is a kids' film but it's also a very can in film that is a film that you could see it was satisfy you could see how some horror elements in it but it's a drama about the afterlife but that still has a very can and twist to it you can take any of these conventions that exist around the world and add an african convention to it that makes it really authentically

nor cool but still very translatable to the whole world my question generally what really. she would be probable very good question the kings of cinema have existed on this side of the world right and they have established what cinema ought to nor like and sound like and feel like and what kind of stories can be told on the big screen and. african filmmakers for a long time have been on the side to watching but now here in the arena with the best of them telling our stories we have very authentic leave our and i think that's what we ought to be most proud of that we're standing on and i mean that we thought was owned and managed and run by people from other parts of the world but we have as much say in what gets to be seen like robots thank you very much it was fun thank you that is it is africa for now you can catch all our

stories on our face to face book and website that's steve w. news i'm to see one dollar eighty micah ginia will be with you next week by. stressing your seatbelts. look at this. thing. so travel guard. next.
