We are proud and honour to present to you our latest podcast.\n\nA few weeks ago, we talked to retired school teacher and first time film maker Gary Janks (proving you are never too old). His film, Chasing Mandela\u2019s Rainbow is an examination of the modern day South African education system. At the heart of the film is the question \u2013 were Nelson Mandela\u2019s very high education ideals realised?\n\nGary answers that question through three very different students :\n\nPhendulani \u2013 a high achiever, both in the classroom and on the sports field. A potential future leader, but will the system give him the intellectual skills he needs?\n\nAndile \u2013 Keen to learn. Unfortunately the poor rural area where she goes to school may not have the funds or skills to develop her education.\n\nMahlatse \u2013 A complex boy. He has the knowledge but will his extra curricular activities hurt his schooling?\n\nIt is a deeply moving and thought provoking film. If you are interested in watching this incredible movie, a link to rent it is below. Also, below are more details on the film and the various film festivals it has appeared in.\n\nThis was a revealing interview for the At The Flicks team. Chasing Mandela\u2019s Rainbow opened up a whole new world for us and we were all deeply moved. As the Toronto Times said about the film, \u201cLife in Mandela\u2019s South Africa has been an unrelenting struggle against utopian hope \u2013 and painful reality\u201d.\n\nIf you watch the film, please let us know what you think. If you have any questions for Gary, we can forward those on for you.
