feature: ‘polyglot’ – rwandan-german filmmaker amelia umuhire’s new webseries about young creatives of color
Check out ‘Polyglot’ – the new Berlin based webseries, from Rwandan-German filmmaker Amelia Umuhire, which follows the lives of young creatives of color/polyglots as they try to find their place in German society. The must-watch series features rapper/poet Babiche Papaya. Watch the latest episode below, and take a look at the trailer for the third (set in London). Its creator says, “There is this one image of Germany, like you have white people speaking German, if you look at the TV landscape for example. Black people only appear as nurses, or cooks,” they said. “You don’t get to know people, this big part of Germany and Berlin, because they are kind of marginalized in media.”
