In commemoration of Human Rights Day,
Amnesty International Durban presents the screening of the award winning South
African documentary, Shore Break. The
film uncovers the struggle of the Xolobeni community to protect their ancestral
lands from the threat of mining and forced evictions.
Nonhle Mbuthuma, a young local eco-tour
guide, and staunch supporter of her people and the endangered environment on
which their livelihood and culture depends, wants to develop eco-tourism in
order to protect her community’s homes, farms, graves and traditional
lifestyle. Mbuthuma opposes the mining operations and highway construction in
the Xolobeni area.
The
Shore Break unpacks the dilemma faced by a rural
community on South Africa’s Wild Coast as to whether to support or resist a
proposed titanium mining project that could fundamentally change their lives
forever.
The film will be screened at 18h00 on March
20, 2019, at Phansi Museum, 500 Ester Roberts Road, Glenwood. Entrance R20
