When Linga started art he did not have an idea of what he can do with it. He was just making beautiful pictures. As he was growing up he decided to use his art to talk about social and political uses that affect poor people in South Africa. Despite growing in an environment where art was not appreciated Linga managed to persist. Now he is a happy man who is making a living from something that was thought to be a waste of time.

Chris Nthombemhlophe Reid takes us on a journey through spirituality. The spirituality he speaks of knows no difference between “religion, culture or creed”. Being a white Sangoma he explains, isn’t about how people perceive you, but rather what you can give to others. We document Chris’s participation in a Sangoma praise-giving ceremony and beautiful people from all walks of life in vibrantly coloured traditional Xhosa clothing celebrate the acceptance of another sister into their homes and hearts.

Kalk Bay is home to a variety of fishermen, one being Michael Roux. He goes out daily to catch snoek, yellowtail and silverfish. This is an exploration of his day at sea and his concerns regarding the industry and risky working conditions. As he unpacks his fish at the harbour he speaks of his love for the ocean. It is through our relationship with him that we begin to understand what it takes to be a fisherman.

In South Lanarkshire, Scotland, a group of protestors are opposing the establishment of a new mine. They’ve set up camp on the proposed site, determined to keep contractors at bay. They’re the Mainshill Solidarity Camp. Driven by green-politics, and a strong dislike for corporate governance, the campers are more than willing to “break the law to do what they feel is right”
