Scénarisation: Khalo Matabane
A Day Zero Film & Video production in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada's International Co-Production Unit and the South African Broadcasting Corporation, with the assistance of the National Film and Video Foundation of South Africa, and financial support from Jan Vrijman Fund, French Foreign Ministry-Production Fund and Sundance Institute.
Story of a Beautiful Country is the journey of Khalo Matabane, a young Black filmmaker in search of his "new country," the promised land - the new South Africa. Matabane, travelling with a hand-held camera throughout nine provinces, films entirely from the seat of a mini-bus taxi.
The taxi also serves as an open forum for ordinary people to talk about their feelings on such controversial issues as land, race, language, globalization, democracy, identity and violence in the new modern South Africa, which broke away from apartheid in 1994. This story follows the format of talk radio and takes on the look of an adventurous road movie.
Many realize that after hundreds of years of racial tensions, peace and tolerance will not come to this country overnight. Still the South African people are proud of their country and are willing to defend it.
Story of a Beautiful Country expresses the hopes and dreams of the youth - the next generation of people trying to find their way and their voice in the new South Africa.
