Wild Coast Warriors

Nick Chevallier, Leigh Wood, Guido Zanghi / United Kingdom / 2024 / 90 min

Profit-driven destruction is threatening South Africa’s West Coast, with devastating effects on livelihoods and the environment. Yet, the AmaMpondo, an indigenous community from South Africa, stands resolutely against oil giant Shell to preserve their lands and their future. Their resistance is more than a protest—it is a fight for survival of their culture. For them, the sea is not just a resource but a spiritual bond to their ancestors, deeply woven into their identity. This film is a powerful tribute to a community that stands firm, defending their homeland, identity, and culture.
