Four Corners

Overview

Directed by Ian Gabriel, "Four Corners" tells the story of a gifted 13-year-old chess player entangled in Cape Town's notorious child-gang scene. As the first film to explore the century-long conflict between South Africa's Number gangs, specifically the 26 and 28, it uniquely incorporates Sabela, Tsotsi-taal, and Cape Afrikaans dialects. The film features a compelling mix of seasoned actors alongside non-professionals and newcomers from local schools and communities throughout the Cape Flats, creating an authentic portrayal of life in this vibrant yet challenging environment.
