Grappling with the effects of colonialism and imperialism involves confronting the complex legacy of historical domination, which often includes cultural displacement, economic exploitation, and social inequality. The struggle to reclaim and redefine cultural identity becomes paramount in these documentary and narrative films as individuals and communities work to reconnect with their heritage and find their own place in the world.
Just a young boy finding his path... in the best possible shoes. Shoes is a simple story, with global ambition. A story about Munidi, a young boy from a village somewhere in Africa. Munidi isn’t happy with his image and so he sets about transforming his life. Among other Westernised ideals, Munidi looks to his screen idols of the Western world for inspiration. But who can help him realise his Big Life Ambitions? Bond... James Bond, that's who!
Munidi's transformation begins as seeks out the finer things and steps into a new life and a new pair of shoes. Meet the fresh and improved Munidi who is 100% ready to fulfil his dreams, when a series of everyday encounters make him realise that the things he idolises, aren't quite what he thought they would be? This is the story of how one young boy's real transformation comes with understanding who he is and what is important to him.
