2008 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Shivaani will direct Dear Mandela, a feature documentary that will explore the transition to democracy in post-Apartheid South Africa where a decade later, the number of people living on less than a dollar a day has doubled, average life expectancy has fallen by 13 years, and the country has become one of the most violent places in the world. Dear Mandela will examine what has gone wrong with the dream of a New South Africa and gives voice to a new resistance that is emerging in the face of appalling living standards and utter disregard by the government.
