Ubuntu is a film about the Soweto Kliptown Youth Organization (SKY) located in an impoverished area of Johannesburg, South Africa. Started by Bob Nameng in 1987, SKY is an after school program where children can utilize the arts as educational therapy. Ubuntu is a belief that through others, you become a better person.

David Serota’s short film, Ubuntu, recently won first place in the Really Real Shorts category of the 4th annual SXSWclick Festival, an online contest sponsored by the SXSW Film Festival, in which visitors to a SXSW site voted on their favorite short films.
