Bersig: The Soundtrack | Kirsten Skippers | Behind The Scenes

“Bergsig” is a documentary film about the problematic “coloured” identity in South Africa and the lasting legacies of apartheid on young people in the country. The documentary is named after a township area created for “coloured” people in Calitzdorp and attempts- through film- to combat the misrepresentation and erasure of “coloured” people from the history of the town. “Bergsig” is produced by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation in partnership with Abrasive Media.
Executive Producer: Danielle Hoffmeester
Featuring the composer Kirsten Skippers
