The purpose of the video – the culmination of 3 years intense work - is to engage constructively with ECPACC with a completed, world-class, professional production for broadcast – of which we will all be immensely proud, which will stand its ground anywhere in the world, in any language, in any country, sharing with the world the unique history, geography and the heroic women and extraordinary traditional arts and culture of the glorious Eastern Cape.

We reiterate our mutually agreed ECPACC & SA FILM Academy mandate - and desired common goals and outcomes - for this documentary as:

2. A professional, creative production of our documentary intended to celebrate selected, heroic Women in Arts and Craft in the Eastern Cape

4. Putting the Broster Collection on the global radar – currently in the Walter Sisulu University vaults – and affording local crafters from nearby Qebe Beadworker’s Collective to recreate and reinterpret the works to publicise it and most importantly, TO ATTRACT LOCAL & GLOBAL TOURISTS TO THEIR BEAUTIFUL, REMOTE, RURAL PART OF THE WORLD & TO EARN SUSTAINABLE LOCAL & GLOBAL INCOME THROUGH ONLINE MARKETING AND SALES – AND EQUALLY POTTERS AND WEAVING COLLECTIVES IN THE NORTHERN CAPE AND IN COFFEE BAY AMD THE MANY TRADITIONAL CLOTHING AND GARMENT COLLECTIVES, LIKEWISE.
