Documentary film in focus: Good Hope
An exploration of hope over despair in contemporary South Africa. What has become of Nelson Mandela’s Rainbow Nation and how are the next generation tackling the key challenges facing their country? Can they inspire hope and create a brighter future?
Anthony Fabian introduces his feature-length documentary explaining that after directing two South Africa films he was inspired to make a film with a more positive outlook.
He felt a disconnect between his experience of being here and the way people spoke about the country. His vision for Good Hope was shaped and inspired by the “articulate, well-rounded, ambitious” young people he met. Instead of opting to focus on the problems, Fabian endeavours to explore the possibilities for our country’s next generation through achievable solutions, restoration of confidence in humanity and the power of one.
Filmed before the pandemic, Good Hope isn’t about a fixed moment in time, it’s geared towards the future. In this respect, all of the proposed solutions are still attainable and within reach. Now more than ever, it’s time for people to realise their true worth and innate power to effect positive change.
