Dear Kerugma Supporter,
The DVD we are making available online this week is the movie production called, MANDLA - Two Journeys, One Destination. "Mandla" is the Zulu word for "Power". Rural general surgeon Servaise de Kock approached us in 2011 with the script and invited us to film the movie at the rural KwaZulu-Natal hospital he worked at. His vision was to produce, release and distribute the movie to especially rural areas.
MANDLA is an authentically South African production and should be understood in this context. Overseas viewers may find the conditions in the hospital scenes (eg. scarcity of linen) strange, but we trust the reality of some conditions will not distract from the main message.
The movie is followed by a few interesting interviews and a "Behind the Scenes" section.
In short the movie is about ...
Mandla enjoys the pleasures of life but is aware of an emptiness that is not filled. Then tragedy strikes and he needs to make a decision…
Fiona has an unplanned pregnancy. She wants to get rid of the “blob of tissue,” when she realizes that maybe there is more to it …
We all get to a point of need where we have to decide which way to go. Where are you heading?
