Summary

If you look back on the last year, how many African films have you watched? And how does this compare to the other international films you've seen from other continents? Chances are, you're seeing way more films from every other continent than from Africa. That's not your fault. That's how the film industry works. So on today's episode, Alex talks about why it's so hard to see African films and what you can do if you'd like to add more of them to your cinematic diet. **Become a Seventh Row insider: http://email.seventh-row.com **If you'd like to join Reel Ruminators in May to watch an exquisite work of queer South African Cinema, sign up here: http://seventh-row.com/reelruminators
