This modest South African film has won an outstanding 29 international awards to date!

10-year-old Musa (Junior Singo) is orphaned by “the plague” (= aids). With his father's last gift, a tribal drum, in his hand: Musa travels from rural Kwazulu-Natal all the way to Johannesburg, where he lives on the streets. In this hard world, he encounters glimpses of unexpected kindness…and finally returns to what is left of his village to teach his people about what is killing their loved ones.

Singo is marvellous, in this, his first picture – and one critic has commented: “He could easily steal an Oscar nomination from under Haley Joel Osment's nose.” The competent cast also features a familiar face in Clive Scott, who plays a prejudiced though inwardly soft-hearted businessman.

The overall message is a positive one, though the story does underline the fact that as Aids is no respecter of race, class, or age; it should be a subject that can be discussed openly by everybody.

Musa’s father’s drum becomes the symbol of communication right throughout the picture. “The truth will set you free!”
