CAPE OF GOOD HOPE OPENS DECEMBER 16

The six faces of HOPE are Jean Claude (ERIQ EBOUANEY, Lumumba), a refugee from war-torn Congo who finds himself torn between love and the promise of asylum in the West; Lindiwe (NTHATI MOSHESH), a single mother and housekeeper trying to make a life for herself and her son while finding a way out of the township once and for all; Sharifa (QUANITA ADAMS) and Habib (DAVID ISAACS), a young Muslim couple unable to have children of their own yet desperate to have a family; Morne (MORNE VISSER), a recently widowed veterinarian who wants to believe that true love can strike twice; and Kate (DEBBIE BROWN), the emotionally guarded founder of the animal shelter, who seems to relate better to stray dogs than to people.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE is the first feature film written and directed by Mark Bamford and his wife, co-writer and producing partner, Suzanne Kay (daughter of show business legends Diahann Carroll and Monty Kay). Bamford and Kay found inspiration for their film through their experiences working as volunteers with children and refugees. They now reside in South Africa.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE was filmed entirely on location in the Cape Town coastal community of Hout Bay.

107 minutes. PG 13 for mature situations including some violence, sexual content and brief strong language.
