A township tour with a twist….

The film is a short & sweet portrayal of township life through the eyes of some of its residents... Introduced within the premise of the increasingly popular 'township tours', we are taken on a journey through the some of the informal settlements of the Cape.

The Twist: Instead of tourists filling up the tour bus we are joined by a few of Lavender Hills residents; who all have their own insights on where they come from, and indeed what impetus that has on where they are going.

Together we travel through the dirt roads lined with corrugated tin dwellings & make shift tuck shops, to more formal dwellings that make up the Cape Flats. Shop owners ready themselves in the hope of cash-flush tourists, while Alesha Keys & Rihanna ring out from portable speakers on every corner.

This is the new South Africa, and the rainbow nation has opened its doors to the rest of the world in more ways than one. This film hope to portray some of the texture and life found within the township, whilst addressing the push & pull effects this place has on its residents. Does where you come from determine where you go?
