Inspired by the Mark Twain classic The Prince and the Pauper, Kasha and the Zulu King tells the tale of an amaZulu boy who returns to his place of origin years after being given away, looking to piece together his past. Upon his return he forms a unique bond with the Zulu prince, with whom he shares an uncanny resemblance. The two switch places and learn an invaluable lesson in the process.

Created by the Atlanta University Center Feature Animated Film Project, Kasha and the Zulu King reimagines a classic tale of rags to riches in an extraordinarily different way. Featuring the voices of Kenny Leon, Monica Pearson, Shirley Franklin, Bobby V, T.J. Holmes, Jasmine Guy and others, Kasha and the Zulu King is an animated adventure you will not want to miss.

Tune in on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 8A/7C for the premiere!
