In spite of less available technology and set-backs during the time of making ‘Maridadi’ (1993) as a first Tanzanian movie remains a masterpiece of popular ‘Bongo Movies’ now made in our country. It should be noted that there were no Television channels until then. The first Television channel CTN started in 1994 followed by others later. Professional cameras, boom-mics, editing machines, etc for shooting were not available in the country! Despite the hurdles, movie ‘Maridadi came with Direction, Production, Technique, Story-Telling, Song-Writing, Singing, Scripting, Back-Ground Music, Dances, Performances, Dialogues, Screen-Play, Editing, Camera-Work, Set-Designing, Lighting, Costumes. .etc all coming together as a perfect whole by four brothers, Aziz, Iqbal, Yunus Senior and Yunus Junior as the pioneers in Film-Making known as, the Varda Arts!
Elsewhere, the pioneers in film-making are dealt with much respect. Their artistic works are preserved for historical records with honorary tribute.
