Local films win prestigious international awards

Don’t Give Up, which is produced by Anant Singh and directed by Darrell James Roodt, recently screened at the popular festival. It went on to win Best Creation in the Fiction category at the coveted Golden Nymph Awards.

Don’t Give Up stars legendary Mzansi actress, Leleti Khumalo, who plays Faith, a single mother struggling to provide for her two young sons, Lucky and Siyabonga.

She begs for money from disinterested commuters on her corner and lives in an abandoned car in an alley-way of central Johannesburg.

She tries to increase her takings with a sign, but has to beg for the cardboard for the sign from antagonistic newsvendors. She cannot write so has to find someone to write the sign for her, which takes her into the dangerous area of Hillbrow.
