The House is Burning Budget: $100K - $1M | Documentary A coming-of-age story about 18-year old climate activist, Ayakha Melithafa, writing final exams during a global pandemic in Khayelitsha, South Africa. When her family loses their farm in the Eastern Cape due to prolonged drought, her research into the cause sparks her passion to speak truth to power. Even as her generation struggles to find hope, facing climate chaos in a country 90% reliant on coal-power, her love for her family keeps her pushing to change the status quo and mobilise youth of colour to fight for climate justice. The COVID-19 pandemic offers a chance to re-imagine a fossil-free future.
