Mr. Shakes - The Passion to Live!

Faced with a sharp reminder of his mortality, 65-year old Port Elizabeth disco-king Mr. Shakes meditates on his choices and achievements in life. Despite the oppressive apartheid regime he built a successful disco empire over 20 years and turned his name into an established brand country-wide. His recent brush with death makes him question his direction in life, and choose where he wants to focus his energies. Through interviews with family and friends we are presented with a veritable slice of South African life, it is also a tribute to a DJ who now saves lives as he courageously clings on to his own.
