About this movie

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?

Ratings and reviews

The Creators is a story about people living their lives in a world that most of us will never know. The filmmakers clearly cared very deeply about their message and the subjects they were interviewing. It's a wonderful tale of how Art plays a role in our existence no matter where you're from. Take some time to expand your view and give it a watch. You'll be glad that you did. :)

A fresh and vital mosaic of contemporary South Africa as seen through the eyes of six charismatic artists. Resisting the urge to streamline or editorialize, this sensory and uplifting documentary lingers long in the mind, like the people it so vividly portrays.

Excellent story and compelling characters. Great watch!
