Heartlines is an NGO that embraces the power of storytelling to inspire change. Garth Japhet, one of the two doctors who founded Soul City, is leading a team of people wanting to make a difference, and their work here at Heartlines is highly compelling and innovative.

Stories are what make up our lives. The bible is filled with stories, and we all embrace heroic characters who go against all odds, and show us a better way. Ultimately, all stories are about discovering the truth.

Beyond The River is a story about a young man who overcomes incredible hardship to follow a dream and inspires the people in his life to never give up. I recently saw a working cut of the film and it blew me away… WOW! The edit is still underway and the next few months will bring everything together.

It is a privilege and a pleasure to work again with Craig, Robbie and Trevor, who were all part of the team on Material, the movie inspired by Riaad Moosa. That was a magical film, and it did so much good out there. Beyond The River is a testimony to growth and talent — this new film from Heartlines is nothing short of EXTRAORDINARY. I am thrilled to be playing a part on this journey and I am confident that this is going to deliver. For Heartlines, it is about stimulating a national conversation and I believe they will realize their destiny.

I worked with Garth and Harriet on their previous Heartlines film, and I am truly amazed at the growth here. To everyone involved from Heartlines and Quizzical Pictures I am stunned at this production… WOW WOW WOW!

Beyond The River will come out in cinemas in early 2017. You are going to be totally captivated.
