 South African Stars Promote Values through New Hopeville Movie
Hopeville is the uplifting story of Amos Manyani, a recovering alcoholic who moves to a rundown rural town in the hope of etching out a new life with his alienated son Themba. It is due for release in South African cinemas on 3 September,
“Amos’s story is one of a man trying to put his life together and win his son back. It’s a journey that will touch a lot of people, as we see somebody trying to put things right,” said Themba Ndaba, who plays the lead.
In the face of a corrupt municipality, dark community secrets and apparent apathy, Amos finds meaning in his mission to restore the derelict public swimming pool. This is largely a tender bid to also restore the damaged relationship with his son Themba, played by Junior Singo, who is an upcoming swimming star deeply unhappy that he now has to stay with his estranged father after his mother’s untimely death. Amos’s “service” is initially met with skepticism from both Themba and the community, and frustrating resistance from the authorities, but eventually his perseverance inspires the community of Hopeville to finally act on their convictions.
“All of us have a place that we can fix within ourselves, our families or our communities. That little bit that you can do, do it. It doesn’t matter how small. Do something to make a difference,” said Ndaba. “And watch Hopeville to get some hope!” he added.

 New Movie Release Spearheads SA Anti-Human Trafficking Campaign
Humble Pie Entertainment is running the HumanTradeLink.org anti-human trafficking campaign with the release of their latest film A Dance for Bethany. The main aim of this campaign is to improve and align co-ordination between governments and organisations that have pledged their commitment towards the fight against the trafficking of human beings for profit.
Human trafficking is understood to be the process of recruitment and transportation of people by means of deception or force for the purpose of exploitation. This exploitation most commonly involves forced prostitution, but victims are also trafficked for bonded labor and domestic servitude. The enforcement of laws to stop human trafficking remains inadequate in South Africa. Few criminals are convicted, and the majority of victims never receive help.
A network of more than 61 local and 38 international anti-human trafficking organizations have been identified and invited to come along side Humble Pie Group for the HumanTradeLink.org campaign, which will be an ongoing campaign, launched in June 2010.
