Everything Must Fall

Spoken: English/Zulu. Subtitles: English.

When South African universities raised their fees in 2015, initially peaceful protests were held at the University of the Witwatersrand (commonly known as Wits). #feesmustfall became the battle cry for those struggling to keep school affordable and to prevent the poorer black population from being excluded from a decent education. Poverty was already rampant before the fee hike, with thousands of mainly black students dependent on food banks on a daily basis. In a day-by-day recapitulation of events featuring footage from the battleground itself, Everything Must Fall shows how the protest escalated from peaceful actions to an armed conflict between thousands of police officers and resolute students.
