the fall
Synopsis
The Fall is an international award winning docudrama which is collaboratively devised and workshopped by the cast. It chronicles the #RhodesMustFall and subsequent student-led movements in South Africa, which alerted the country and the world to the latent ongoing issues brought about by colonialism and Apartheid. The Fall details the experiences of seven students within this movement and how they deal with their traumas, while still moving towards activism for a free decolonised education.
