Gr8ness

70% of 20 million youth in SA have been victims or perpetrators of crime. Of every 100,000 youth, 37% have dropped out of school before matriculation. The documentary explores how these statistics can be changed by exposing youth to the opportunities of creative industries,
which are sadly not known by most at-risk youth of South Africa.
Ethan grew up in Muizenberg with his parents and siblings, due to tough economic times Ethan had to move to Grassy Park and live with his grandmother. Through Ethan's lens we want to take the user on a journey as they experience the relationship between the child and mentor grow as they explore art and creativity together in Cape Town.
