Cape Town silhouetted at golden hour

Ubuntu — A Cape Town Story

Ubuntu — A Cape Town Story

One of the most dangerous cities on Earth. And one of the most loved. We didn't go for the headlines — we went to speak with the people living in them. This is what they told us.

Teaser dropping soon

We'll drop it here the moment it's cut.

The crime doesn't define Cape Town.

The people who call it home do.

From the film · Jamie & Sam, No Excuse Films

This isn't a crime documentary, though crime is in it. It isn't a tourism film, though Cape Town has rarely looked more itself. It isn't an exposé, and it isn't a lecture.

It is, in the end, a film about people. About one of the most complicated, beautiful, painful, brilliant cities in the world — told without flinching from any of it, and without losing sight of the hope that runs throughout it all.
