He is the one player who stole the hearts and minds of South Africans after the country won the tournament because of the challenges he overcame to be the best in the game. Narrated by award-winning, Xhosa (synonymous with Eastern Cape culture) sports journalist, Sibusiso Mjekeliso, the film provides the viewer a layered lens into the most honest, intimate and visually dynamic exploration of culture, challenges and the rawness of uninhibited talent in South Africa. From the hills of Twecu, a rural village community, to the city scapes of Port Elizabeth, we meet characters who helped Mapimpi rise out of poverty and became one of the best rugby players in the world. The film explores how one single moment at the Rugby World Cup in 2019, has the potential to inspire a generation of lost boys and girls in South Africa. See less
