Nestling between the sweep of False Bay and the dragonback Helderberg Mountains near Cape Town (and not far from the ecoAfrica Travel offices) lies Khayelitsha. This sprawling shanty town was the setting for the winning film of the 2007 Commonwealth Vision Awards presented last week in London. Made by Jacqueline van Meygaarden and Luke Younge, the theme for this year submissions was “The Commonwealth – Changing communities, greening the globe”.

There are no words spoken in the film. “I wanted to choose images which are simple and visually based”, said van Meygaarden. The storyline? Well see for yourself.
