Love this video for Original Swimming Party’s track with Moonchild by director Amy Allais (of Johannesburg-based Ola! Films). “Biggest Curse” beautifully explores the dynamics of domestic life in South Africa based on childhood memories of growing up there. As Allais shared with us:
“My friend Lebogang Mogashoa tells stories about growing up as the son of a domestic worker in Johannesburg living in the home of his white employers. This is a very common situation in South Africa – the domestic space divided into squares of have and have nots. In one of his stories, he recounts how he took a bite out of a cake that his mom baked on behalf of the “Madam” for a church function. And how small acts of rebellion can feel like the first gusts of a mighty wind.”
