PANEL SPOTLIGHT: CULTURE IN A GLASS 🍷🌍 At the INDYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AI CINEFEST, Adelaide Segan Ganyani will speak on the cultural heartbeat of Rum & Roots — how African tradition, story, and identity come alive through new technology. She’ll explore the role of TRADITIONAL BAOBAB WINE in the film: a sacred, rum-infused elixir rooted in the ancestral “round” of Great Ancestor Nhaka, reimagined through modern winemaking. Through Tinashe’s journey in Hwange, the wine becomes a symbol of cultural continuity — where heritage meets innovation, and Zimbabwean identity stays rooted while evolving. This is African storytelling powered by AI, grounded in soil, craft, and legacy. #RumAndRoots #BaobabWine #AfricanHeritage #AICinefest #SeganGlomedia
