Otelo Burning

September 26, 2011

What it’s about:

In a country on the cusp of freedom, three Zulu boys from the
township learn to surf, against the odds. A story of courage, love and
betrayal.

A coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of
Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. It’s an emotional story of kids in
the township learning to surf. It’s a story of the explosive potential
for change at the time of apartheid’s end – all seen through a child’s
eye.
