Youth Culture - Eps 3: Education

Описание: The issue of education in South Africa comes with a history of baggage. It has been a constant conversation in the history of our country. 40 years after the uprising of the 1976 students, we are still fighting for it. Meet two young people who have the same expectations from the education system they are navigating, however their experiences with education are completely different. Khethu is a grade 12 student attending a school in the township and Luvuyo is product of Model C schools. In this episode we question the narrative, Education is key to success.

Through these young people, the film tries to articulate the dominant conversation around identity and how it is linked to land and the spaces young people occupy in the Cape Town. Lavern and Jayden allow us into their lives to experience first-hand what it means to be displaced, relocated, from a place you called home.

Youth Culture identifies young people that have decided to immerse themselves in the discourse on transformation in all spheres of life. Standing on the side line and just commenting on Facebook is not enough for these young mavericks. Through their voices, their journeys reveal a cascade of information that is not represented in the public domain. Through their life experiences South African audiences have the opportunity to put a face to the issues that are trending on our social network timelines.
