Sesihle Manzini: 

A Piece of Ground is a documentary exploring land, memory, and belonging in post-apartheid South Africa. Through personal stories and historical reflection, the film traces how spatial injustice continues to shape everyday life - long after the formal end of apartheid. Moving between past and present, it invites viewers to consider how land is not only a material question, but a deeply human and spiritual one. At its heart, the film asks: what does it mean to truly belong, and what might justice look like in a landscape still marked by dispossession?
