Bi Kidude is a living legend on her home island of Zanzibar, and has beguiled audiences around the world on her wide and varied travels. A ... all » favourite of sultans, presidents, and sailors, her story is remarkable, challenging our perception of age (she's ninety three, going on sixteen), and of women in a Muslim society. To see her up close in her humble home then out on the town, smoking and flirting is a unique experience.

As Old As My Tongue has been filmed over the last three years in Zanzibar and on tour with Bi Kidude. More than a biography, it is an insight into the politics and personalities of Zanzibar's spicy contemporary society. The soundtrack features a specially commissioned soundscape by co-producer Rita Ray and featuring a hundred years of classical Indian Ocean vibes.

  • love tjo old lady but fuck u western for sayin life as muslims suck u puy this in her mouth

  • Did u hear that? ''LIFE AS A MUSLIM WOMAN WAS A HORROR'' That is typical a western myth and rubish...can't they talk of anything without mentioning ISLAM or MUSLIM? Pathetic.

  • Excuse me ? what are you talking about?you think i hate women?maybe im a woman myself.And i did not say that every woman who won a nobel price is fake......i meant most of the people...so please read a text then answer.

  • Dont put women down, specially those who are nobelprice, it took a woman to raise you, next time you look into your chest- see those tits you got to remind you came from a woman.

    Honour them as you do with mama Bi -Kidude.

    Peace!
