This documentary tells the story of Bo-Kaap, South Africa’s oldest Muslim neighbourhood and it’s fight against gentrification.
The roots of Islam in South Africa, begin in the 1600’s in the Cape, where the Dutch had brought indentured labourers and political prisoners from the Malay Archipelago, after they had acquired land and spices there.
The Rise captures the story of Bo-Kaap via three intersecting character journeys, who share their story of community, identity and access to land, pre and during the covid 19 pandemic.
