Life, Above All
Genre: Drama
Director: Oliver Schmitz
Stars: Khomotso Manyaka
Rating: ****
Notable for its outstanding performance by youngster Khomotso Manyaka, Life, Above All is a drama that places the strong-willed 12-year-old in a tumultuous South African township dealing with poverty and AIDS. While the themes remain heavy, the well-shot, beautifully acted film is an impressive, touching piece of world cinema.
