This feature film will also be available to view on Leeds Film Player from 5 to 17 November.
In this experimental cinematic portrait, South African mother, full-time domestic worker and part-time actor, Mothiba Grace Bapela, reflects on her extraordinary life, and searches for a way to break out of the societal roles cast for her. Director Lindiwe Matshikiza leads an multidisciplinary creative process in producing this collaboratively-made portrait of the often precarious, sometimes miraculous position of an African female migrant worker. One Take Grace is a vibrant and powerful display of a captivating woman and an incredible life story.
