One of the best short stories I’ve read, and it’s by my brave and brilliant @NadiaDavids9. An amazing re-working of the campus plot-a feminist prof, her student, and a devastating twist.
Timely, horribly so.

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde

"When they watch this film, they see themselves reflected in it. So, while I was telling a very specific South African story, in that specificity, I was telling a global story about brownness and blackness in a world that’s been colonized."

I’m far from home-in Cape Town- but knowing my first feature will open in San Jose-my hometown-is particularly special during this time when art is one of the key ways we bridge distance.
