The local film that’s been creating a lot of buzz worldwide, Ayanda is finally screening in South Africa. The Terry Pheto produced film was just picked up for international distribution by Selma director, Ava DuVernay. Here’s the plot:
In a community vibrant with migrants from across the African Continent, against the backdrop of unspoken love, a young woman tries to navigate a path for herself. But this is a world where everything keeps shifting… Everything except the one thing that really does need to change. Ayanda and the Mechanic is a coming of age story of a twenty one year old Afro hipster, who embarks on a journey of self discovery trying to keep the memory of her father alive, when she’s thrown into a world of greasy overalls, gender stereotypes and abandoned vintage cars in need of a young woman’s re inventive touch who tries to reclaim what would’ve been, what could’ve been.
Here’s the trailer to the film. Will you be watching?
