Ghetto Ballet

Opis filmu

Opis oryginalny: angielski

<p>Gehtto Ballet follows the inter-linked stories of a number of students in a groundbreaking program called Dance For All. The raison d'etre of the program - founded by Philip Boyd and his late wife Phyllis Spira - is to give disadvantaged kids in the townships the opportunity to study ballet and, if they are lucky, find a way out by joining a professional ballet company. </p><p> We wanted to showcase this process in all its glory and sadness; the competition is fierce and the slots are few - so even if someone wins a coveted place, many more are bound to be disappointed.Filming over a number of months with a small intimate crew, we followed students as they battled the odds and their demons to try and stick with the program
