greening communities

Cape Town filmmakers Jacqueline van Meygaarden and Luke Younge walked away from the Commonwealth Vision Awards last week with the top prize for their 90-second South African film Free Energy. In an article in today's Cape Argus, the two explain that the film "touches on daily township life in South Africa and how solar energy could be utilised to uplift the poor in a sustainable way." The film was shot in Cape Town's Khayelitsha township.
