RELEASED to coincide with the 165th anniversary of the first indentured labourers from India to arrive in Natal in November, The Cane Cutter uses a unique style of film-making, blending documentary realities from the past to a modern-day love story within the local Indian community.

- FAKIR HASSEN

Eschewing the trend often used by local Indian filmmakers of using accents and idiosyncrasies of the community that have largely faded away - director Eubulus Timothy sets out to develop a long-held vision of producer Shan Moodley to tell the story of indenture, and its trials and tribulations in a way largely forgotten by the descendants of those first migrants three generations later.
