The story begins in the mind of Cashril Plus, a twelve-year-old animator and son of graffiti artist Faith47. Through Cashril's eyes, we see his mother paint the streets and forgotten townships haloing Cape Town. Weaving through the lives of Faith47, Warongx (afro-blues), Emile Jansen (hip hop), Sweat.X (glam rap), Blaq Pearl (spoken word) and Mthetho (opera), the film culminates in an intertwined story. Born into separate areas of a formerly-segregated South Africa, the artists recraft historyâand the impacts of apartheidâin their own artistic languages. The lens reveals the impulse behind the artistsâ social consciousness, the individualsâ eccentricities, and each creatorâs unique form of expression. Diving into the current of subversive art which fuels South Africaâs many clashing and merging cultures, The Creators brings into focus the invisible connections among strangers' disparate livesâand the creative expression used to traverse the divide. The result is an intimate, refreshing, and deeply revealing portrait of those remolding the legacy of apartheid.[1]
