Dir: Sam Bozzo
Wars of the future will be fought over water as they are over oil today, as the source of human survival enters the global marketplace and political arena. Corporate giants, private investors, and corrupt governments vie for control of our dwindling supply, prompting protests, lawsuits, and revolutions from citizens fighting for the right to survive. Past civilizations have collapsed from poor water management. Can the human race survive?

Dir: Nic Hofmeyer
Two South African surfers from different walks of life serve as a metaphor for the nation as it deals with the legacy of apartheid in this documentary. Ian Armstrong and Cass Collier are two world-class surfers who are pals and friendly rivals on the big waves of Cape Town's spectacular beaches. But while Armstrong came from a wealthy white family, Collier is black and came of age at a time when segregation and minority rule prevented him from surfing most of South Africa's best waves. Collier's father, Ahmed Collier, learned about surfing in Hawaii and passed his enthusiasm for the sport on to his son, but while Armstrong had to learn how to navigate the waves on his board, Collier also had to fight for the right to ride the same surf. Taking Back the Waves looks at the history of surfing in South Africa, Collier's efforts to rise to the top of his game, and the slow, difficult efforts to come to terms with his country's ugly past. This will be the first public screening of Taking Back the Waves in Muizenberg, and Cass Collier will be present at the Melting Pot to answer questions after the documentary.

Zolani Ndevu
This film by Zolani Ndevu and the SIYAKHONA Project shows us the improvements of this country since 1994, and investigates the basis of the xenophobic attacks that happened in 2008 in Cape Town. Khayelitsha is the second biggest township after Soweto (Johannesburg), and the film looks at its diverse culture and tradition it gained after its independence. Furthermore it takes a specific look at the life of ordinary foreign nationals living in the township, who came to Khayelitsha to finish their studies and get jobs. A Ghanian takes the viewer through his journey/life in Khayelitsha and his ups and downs as he is regarded as a foreigner.
Siyakhona is a project that trains young people from disadvantaged communities to be photographers and video journalists. It is part of Sony’s collaboration with FIFA on corporate social responsibility and is implemented through Football for Hope, the movement led by FIFA and streetfootballworld.
Producer Zolani Ndevu and other members of Siyakhona will be present at the Melting Pot to answer questions after the documentary.
