SIMON Neonga, the executive producer of a local film, is on the brink of an international victory for the film industry, promising an exciting treat for Namibians and the rest of the world.

“Swim Against The Tide” (SATT), a title that captures the interest of moviegoers, offers a perfect blend of entertainment, action, and drama.
According to Neonga, SATT aims to teach audiences how to confront daily challenges without fear, facing them head-on and persevering even when exhausted and bruised. The film also highlights the unity of purpose among different races, ethnicities, and tribes, inspires hope in the hopeless, serves as a gateway to career opportunities, and, above all, uplifts people’s spirits through entertainment.
“As a producer, I assure Africa and the global community that this masterpiece is one in a million and undoubtedly a game changer of our era,” he said.
Neonga revealed that the film teaser will be released on June 9, 2023, through SATT’s YouTube platform, with a full trailer expected to follow in early August.
He emphasized that the cast consists of individuals from various age groups, backgrounds, and ethnicities, encompassing a diverse range of talent.
