Set largely in rural Dweshula, Port Shepstone, where Vukazithathe grew up, the documentary comprises sweeping footage of the rolling hills and mountainous reaches of the area, where many of its crucial interviews take place. The city of Durban, where Vukazithathe often performs, makes up the rest of the location footage, as well as a few short performance scenes in Johannesburg for the 2017festival. In this way, the documentary is short and uncomplicated in its composition.
From shirking his cattle-herding responsibilities to practise guitar in the hills and losing his father at a young age, to moving to Umlazi and pursuing a music career with nothing but his instrument and a bag of clothes, Vukazithathe’s recounting of his younger years is rich in sincerity and personal anecdote. These intimate interviews are some of the film’s best moments and are well-curated by Mokgata and creative partner.
Finally, a moment to celebrate Mokgata himself. Throughout his own musical career, as well as his frequent collaborations across the realms of art, music, film and more, the interdisciplinary artist has always strived to celebrate the organic efforts of South African artists, and place them on a platform for the rest of the world to engage with.
