Otelo Burning

It is 1989 and the struggle against apartheid has reached its peak. 16 year old Otelo Buthelezi, his younger brother Ntwe and his best friend New Year are invited to the beach-house of their new friend, Mandla Modise, to watch him surf. These young boys step into a world previously closed to them. It is exactly the opposite of the township where they live – a place under a constant and growing threat from political violence fueled by Inkatha hostel dwellers on one side, and United Democratic Front comrades on the other. For the boys, who previously had a deep-seated fear of the sea, “flying on water” comes to represent freedom, and they are sold.

A gritty and occasionally disturbing look into a world little-known to most Americans, Otelo Burning will change perspectives and open audiences’ eyes to life at the end of apartheid. Inspiring and ultimately enlightening, Otelo Burning is a gripping and powerful film.

In Zulu and English with English subtitles.

This film contains some strong disturbing violence, brief disturbing sexual content, strong language, alcohol/drug content and mature themes. Recommended for mature audiences.
