Good Hope

This is a well-researched, informative documentary that delivers what it promises. Good Hope tracks the history of the transition from apartheid to the present by exploring the views and experiences of diverse participants, many from the post-apartheid “Born Free” generation. They share their hopes, dreams and frustrations candidly and with accuracy, a strong sense of common humanity and, at times, justified outrage. While the film doesn’t shy away from the more difficult aspects impacting on South African society today, it succeeds in delivering a surprising sense of hope that is at once fragile, uplifting and realistic.
