Alatha is bound by the loss of her mother and seems unable to break free from her pain. With the help of her father The Mover, she slowly begins to join his dance classes and starts to heal her broken heart.
Using a unique type of African electronic "Gqom" dance, Altha's father helps kids in the township of Khayelitsha, South Africa, to transcend the grips of poverty, drugs, and abuse and realize that if they work and dance hard they can be whoever they want to be.
MY FATHER THE MOVER invites you on an exploration of Gqom dance and movement to ignite your own sense of freedom while introducing you to the crucial work of Stoan Move Galela and his United Township Dancers.
