Documentary, History, Music

Six artists sculpt South Africa's future from the fragments of a tumultuous past. The artists separately recraft history - and the impacts of apartheid - in their own artistic languages. How does creative expression traverse the divide?

Plot

Born into separate areas of the formerly-segregated country, The Creators recraft history in their own artistic languages. Weaving through the lives of Faith47 (street art), Warongx (afro-blues), Emile (hip-hop), Sweat.X (performance art), Blaq Pearl (spoken word) and Mthetho (opera), the film culminates in an intertwined multi-plot. As we grow closer to the individuals we notice stark differences between their perspectives, exposing an intimate, refreshing, and deeply revealing portrait of those remolding the legacy of apartheid.
