The Break Through!
After many weeks of interviews and meetings with my interviewee I finally got him to talk about the deep and personal staff that he has been holding back from me. I now feel that the documentary has potential to be great if I manage to structure it well and find away to integrate the great ambience that I have collected.

Rehabilitation through theatre
Troubled Grahamstown youth use theatre to heal their scars. These enthusiastic youngsters tell stories of their tough upbringing and the harsh reality of living on the streets of Grahamstown.
Egazini Centre as part of their Ekhaya Theatre Company have a group of young adults that often get in trouble with the Grahamstown law enforcers, who perform various theatre plays to tell stories of their difficult upbringing.
During the 2009 National Arts Festival I worked with this group of young guys. They performed a play titled “My life on the streets of Grahamstown” to often small audiences.
These guys are aged between 13 – 20 years of age and they all have individual stories of how they got “in conflict” with the law. These young guys have been able to turn their lives around by using theatre as therapy to fight their troubles and find a purpose in life.
