Focus Years: 2007 | Country: South Africa
Synopsis:
"Testing Hope: Grade 12 in the new South Africa" chronicles the lives of four young people in Nyanga township as they work towards their crucial Matric exams, which one student calls, “the decider.†These students, part of the first generation educated in post-apartheid South Africa, began school in 1994, the same year that Nelson Mandela was elected president.
While this is the new South Africa, many vestiges of apartheid remain: poverty is entrenched, and over half of all young people aged 16 to 25 are unemployed. "Testing Hope" follows the students as they prepare for the exams that they believe will determine their future. What hangs in the balance if students pass metric and what awaits those who do not? How do they achieve their dreams in a country where so many obstacles remain?
