Summary
In 1986, Soweto playwright Peter Ngwenya formed the Student Youth Drama Society. His aim was to use song, dance and drama to allow local children to express themselves, drawing upon aspects of their daily experiences to present the reality of township life. In 1989, the group was invited to tour Canada. This video accompanies them on their visits to Toronto and Winnipeg, depicting them as they interact with their hosts, and presents extracts from "Save the children" to local audiences of school children, their parents and teachers. The Canadian material is intercut with footage shot in South Africa and the program includes brief interviews with Peter Ngwenya and members of his company.
