‘Locals ONLy’
In 1970’s Apartheid South Africa, a white teenage skateboarder befriends two township kids and discovers the ugly truth of the world that he is living in.
“I made this film to remind myself what experiencing those emotions felt like, in the immediate, as I did back then. I wanted to locate the story just below conscious thought, simmering in the senses, just as a teenager would experience it.
It fills me with sorrow to think that an expression of pure joy could be a punishable offense, that an innocent act could have irreversible consequences, and change the trajectory of a life, but it could, it did, every day.
And it still does today. Not just in Apartheid South Africa, but right here in our own backyard.
I ask how far we’ve come, and what lessons we have learned?”
