Afrikaaps (Plexis Films 2010)

This documentary focuses on a theatre piece entitled “Afrikaaps” within a film. It is based on the creative processes and performances of the stage production. Using hip-hop the film and the stage play attempt to reclaim Afrikaans – so long considered a language of the oppressor – as a language of liberation. Present from the beginning of the project, Dylan Valley captures revealing moments of the cast’s and production crew’s personal narratives that transcend what happens on stage.
