Promised housing by the South African government, more than a hundred Cape Town families found community through their struggle as squatters on a sandy road known as Symphony Way. Recently moved by court order to an indefinitely temporary relocation area dubbed ‘Tin Town’ or ‘Blikkiesdorp’ in Afrikaans, community members reflect on that road in their past and on the road ahead.
This is a short film followed by a discussion with Firoze Manji, editor of Pambazuka News, and Matt Birkinshaw, who lived on Symphony Way.
The book No Land! No House! No Vote! Voices from Symphony Way will also be launched at the screening
