Mozambique:
“Two Makua women of northern Mozambique in the late 19th century wearing head scarves known as lenço and wrap around cloth capulana. The ‘Paisley’ pattern worn by the woman on the left became immensely popular in eastern Africa because of its similarity to the shape of the cashew nut which symbolises wealth and fertility.
The cashew nut is a major source of income in eastern and southern Africa which is one reason why the ‘Paisley’ pattern on textiles became immensely popular because of its similarity to the shape of the cashew. From the mid-nineteenth century, printed textiles in eastern and southern Africa, where slavery was not officially abolished until 1897, were increasingly worn as a sign of proud emancipation, freedom and personal prosperity.” From: zeitgeistafrica.com

Personally I’m not a fan of this kind of sponsoring either, but it is common. Fortunately in this case the actors and producers were locals, so it guarantees a certain authenticity for the story and the film.
I think it was poorly written (the type of expressions they used and everything are not very common in everyday life), although the intentions were great. But I liked the storyline.
