We are delighted to have confirmed the second film under the theme of reconciliation. A brand new documentary, Surfing Soweto is scary, shocking, and an insightful window into some of South Africa’s post-apartheid lives.
Most of the surfers come from broken homes. They spend their days drinking, smoking, and teaching each other the latest train surfing techniques. Director Sara Blecher documented the lives of three train surfers: “We have followed Bitch Nigga, Lefa, and Mzembe on to the top of trains hurtling though Soweto. We have watched their lives fall apart. And we have watched them battling to piece them back together again”.
