Don’t Give Up

From the team of the Academy Award Nominated film, YESTERDAY, comes a touching tale of a young, homeless, mother and her bid to survive in the harsh environment of modern day Johannesburg.

Don’t Give Up follows the life of Faith, a homeless beggar and a single mother of two young sons Lucky and Siyabonga. They live in an abandoned car in an alleyway of central Johannesburg. One day while washing her sons at a tap in a bus depot, Faith is assaulted by a security guard. In her bid to escape this battering, she and her sons try to run away, but Siyabonga gets caught in the wire fence and almost has his thumb ripped off. Faith is unable to help him beyond wrapping it up in a torn piece of her skirt. She begs for money from disinterested commuters on her corner.
