AFRIKAAPS

South Africa 2010

The documentary follows a group of local artists creating the hip-hop opera Afrikaaps, as they trace the true roots of Afrikaans to slaves in the Cape. This is the untold story of Afrikaans liberated from its reputation as the language of the oppressor, taking it back to the people who own it. It features the musical greats, Jitsvinger, Kyle Shepherd, Emile (black noise), Shane Cooper, Moenier Adams, Blaq Pearl, the powerhouse b-boy, Bliksemstraal, and the poetic genius of Jethro Louw.
