Local film 'Beyond the River' set to shine in London on FreedomDay IOL_Lifestyle
A proudly South African film, "Beyond the River," has warmed the hearts of South Africans across all walks of life, and even made waves during a visit to the Sonoma Film Festival in California in 2018.
The South African High Commission will kick off "Beyond the River"'s London tour on Freedom Day with a premiere, followed by another special screening sponsored by the London Telegraph, where the cast will be present for a Q&A session. The following evening, April 28th, will see the film screened in 40 movie theatres throughout London.
Produced by South African NGO Heartlines, the film tells the story of the experienced and gritty but partly broken Steve and Duma, the lion-hearted rookie-come-upstart from Soweto and the confluence of their journeys to self-realisation. Ntondini, a long-time beneficiary of the project at just 23 years old says, “Our club is not just about sport, it’s about the lessons one learns through sport and how to apply it to our education and chosen careers.”
