First Water - In search of the wellspring - stories of the psyche

Documentary

The film considers the complex interplay between the individual psyche, the social fabric, and the arid land which sustains life in the Karoo. Local Prince Albert residents tell of divergent lives: of devotion to caregiving beyond the bounds of family; of the philosopher farmer’s relationship with the land; of losing parts of oneself; and of friendship whilst at the mercy of a system that is failing.

Directed byHélène Smit, Adriaan De la Rey, Lodewyk Barkhuizen
