Screening 4: Mother CityDirected by Pearlie Joubert and Miki Redelinghuys, Mother City charts a defiant war against government and property developers in one of the world’s most unequal cities, Cape Town. In 2016, the South African government sold prime land, meant for affordable housing, to a private developer. This careless disregard of housing needs of Capetonians gave birth to the social justice movement, “Reclaim the City”. Through the deeply personal story of activist, Nkosikhona Swartbooi, Mother City follows, over 6 years, the David and Goliath battle in a city disfigured by spatial apartheid.
Screening followed by a discussion with director Pearlie Joubert.
→ Monday 14 dec. 6:30pm.
→ Rue du Poinçon 53, 1000 Brussels.
