Highlands

About This Movie

Highlands is an intriguing documentary that delves into the multifaceted layers of Johannesburg. It’s not your typical city portrait; the pacing feels contemplative, almost languid at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. The film captures the urban landscape with a raw honesty, presenting both its beauty and its struggles. The visuals are striking—practical effects are minimal, but the real-world grit shines through. You’ll notice that the camera lingers on the small moments, the everyday life that often gets overlooked. It’s a reflective piece that invites you to consider the complexities of urban existence and community. Definitely one of those docs that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
