Building on our exploration of Slavery, join us for a screening of this documentary.

The documentary exposes the painful legacy of South Africa’s famous winelands. It reveals how colonial slavery’s legacy still affects farmworker communities through poverty, low wages, poor working conditions, and restricted housing rights.

It also highlights the devastating impact of the ‘dop system’, which left a legacy of alcoholism and generational trauma.
Through personal stories, the film highlights ongoing struggles for dignity, land, and justice among descendants of enslaved people who cultivate the Cape’s world-class wine.
