Latwell Nyangu FILM director and actor Boanerges 'Captain Zimbabwe' Chokuda spent two weeks as a homeless man after he was chucked out of the family home when he quit his lucrative job to pursue his passion for filmmaking. The 32-year-old movie producer did the unthinkable - sacrificing his comfortable life for the sake of his art - and found himself at the mercy of the streets.
Chokuda's decision to leave his well-paying job was met with resistance from his family, who felt that he was making a huge mistake. The family's disapproval ultimately led to him being kicked out of the family home, forcing him to resort to sleeping on the streets.
According to sources close to the filmmaker, Chokuda was determined to make a name for himself in the film industry and was willing to do whatever it took to make his dreams a reality. Despite the setbacks, he continued to work on his craft, often spending long hours on the streets, writing scripts and brainstorming ideas for his next project.
Speaking to H-Metro, Chokuda revealed that his experience on the streets was a real eye-opener, stating that it had given him a newfound appreciation for the struggles that many people face on a daily basis. 'It's been a tough journey, but it's also been a huge learning experience,' he said. 'I've seen firsthand the struggles that people face every day, and it's given me a new perspective on life.'
Chokuda's two-week stint on the streets may have been a difficult one, but it seems to have paid off. The young filmmaker has been working tirelessly on his next project, a film that explores the themes of poverty and struggle. The movie, which is set to be released later this year, promises to be a powerful portrayal of the human spirit, and is sure to resonate with audiences across the country.
For now, Chokuda is just grateful to have a roof over his head and a chance to pursue his dreams. 'I'm just taking things one day at a time,' he said. 'I'm focusing on my craft, and I'm excited to see where it takes me.'
