Zainab Jah are bringing a heartwarming immigration story to life in their new indie drama
Farewell Amor.
In the film, Mwine plays Walter, an Angolan immigrant who brings his wife and daughter to the U.S. after 17 years apart. Mwine tells ABC Audio that the film doesn’t just show the challenges of reuniting with family, it shows the true burden of love.
“What’s so great about the film is that it shows that it’s possible to be in love with two people at the same time,” he says. “And how hard it is to let go of that love. And how hard it is to rekindle a love. For me, it’s really a wonderful examination of love and [its] complexities.”
