Summary
Documentary on the present-day state of black poetry and performing arts in South Africa, emphasizing the growth of the arts as a means of expressing self-awareness and racial identity. Commentators Sophie Mgcina, Carly Dibokoane, Jackie Semela, James Mithoba (name also given as Mthoba), and Samuel Makhubela discuss the prevalence of protest and socio-political themes, the role of traditional tribal arts and the development of new forms, and the contribution of the arts to a sense of black unity. Their remarks are interspersed with scenes of performances, rehearsals, and classes involving adults and children, as well as readings by poets Lesego Rampolokeng and Siphiwe Ngwenya. Performers represented are: Augustinas Lemgolo, Saloon Boys, The Long Till Boys, Abna Mncwaba, Patrick Shai, Soweto Dance Theatre, Alfonse Mabasa, Sechaba, Siyeza, Willie Tshaka, Woza Africa Group, Progress Youth Group, Mamahan Children, The Patriots, Somqobazitha Dancers, The Twilight Gumboots, and New Foundation.
