Everything Must Fall

About This Movie

Everything Must Fall is a gritty deep dive into the #FeesMustFall movement that shook South Africa's educational landscape. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a raw depiction of the passion and urgency behind the protests from the perspective of student leaders at Wits University. The pacing feels almost frenetic at times, mirroring the turmoil of the protests. The filmmakers capture the tension between students and the administration, particularly through Vice Chancellor Adam Habib's lens, which adds layers to the narrative. The atmosphere is thick with urgency, as these young voices demand change against a backdrop of systemic issues. You can sense the stakes, and the performances—especially from the student leaders—are intensely real, making it a fascinating watch for anyone interested in social justice and activism.
