A mad Englishman and mad American give an opportunity to a handful of young photographers during the 2010 World Cup. Actor David Westhead and photographer John Cole, with the help of Judy Roberts at photography logistics company Converge, set up a challenge for eight photographers from Umuzi Photo Club. Can they match the pictures taken at Wembley in 1988 to celebrate Madiba’s birthday? We follow the set up and the photographers as they travel, see, learn and ultimately triumph during the chaotic, happy, crazy time. The film is not just a vivid example of collaborative cando, but also a fast-paced keepsake of a special time.
