Pitched at and now a reality. Congratulations to Yusra Peters & her entire team!........................................................................................................................................

Something special has been growing in Hanover Park.

What started as a dream became a movement.

More than 50 people from our community—young people, parents, first-time actors, aspiring filmmakers, and individuals from all walks of life—came together to create Backstreet.

This is more than a film. It's proof that talent exists everywhere when people are given an opportunity.
Today we're sharing the journey behind the film before we invite you to experience the story itself.
Watch the impact documentary, visit our website, and be part of something bigger.

🎬 Watch Back Streets now:

A powerful South African coming-of-age film set in the Cape Flats — a story about belonging, identity, and second chances.
