A Cape Odyssey On Film
The epic story oF the Cape, told in immersive & personal detail by the winemakers, farmers & indigenous people who live there, in conversation with South Africa's most iconic father-son duo:
DR. JOHN & ATANDWA KaNI
Leaving a Legacy,
Against All Odds
There are a few cherished things South Africans love to boast about: Winning rugby matches. Scenic vistas. Democracy. And Wine.
South Africa is also renowned as the Cradle of Mankind. Reams of scientific evidence and archaeological discoveries have proved that South Africa is where Homo Sapiens’ journey began. The majesty, intensity and sheer scale of its ancient landscapes—and its ancient soil—testify to this fact.
Roots & Vines is an immersive, personal exploration of legacy, the pursuit of excellence at all costs, and the longest timeline in humanity’s history. Following a beloved and iconic South African father-son duo, we will travel from stem to stern across the Western Cape, South Africa’s most fertile and magical region, in search of answers and experiences that help explain where and how humans evolved, and how they became so adept at one of our species’ most sacred industrial processes: Making wine.
