Movie Night: Mother City Documentary Screening

Hard hitting and cinematic, Mother City recently opened the Encounters SA International Documentary Festival in Cape Town, where it screened to sold out audiences.

Festival Director, Mandisa Zitha said the following about the film:

“Mother City represents the heart of what documentary film-making is about. It is a universally powerful story of the triumph of the collective.”

The film starts in 2016 when the Western Cape government sold the Tafelberg School, earmarked for affordable housing, to a private developer. This careless disregard of desperate housing needs gave birth to the social justice movement, “Reclaim the City”. Mother Cityfollows, over 6 years, the David and Goliath battle in a city still disfigured by spatial apartheid.

First 50 students get a free ticket. Valid until the 23rd of August
