    Forerunners

    2011     Documentary    
    South Africa
    52 minutes
    Original lang: English, Afrikaans, Zulu

    "Forerunners" soulfully explores what it means to be black and middle class in South Africa today. At the frontier of unprecedented social change, Miranda, Mpumi, Martin and Karabo are part of the first generation of black South Africans to rise from poverty and join the country's 'middle class'.

    They delicately balance the traditional views of their childhood with the western consumerism that rules their professional lives, selecting and discarding elements from each world to forget a new legacy for their descendants.
