*SHOT LIST + SCRIPT*
*SCENE 1: EXT. ZAMDELA YARD - EARLY MORNING - 06:00*
_Camera: Wide shot of shacks, Sasol factories far. Then close up of Seun sweeping._
*NARRATOR (VOICE OVER):*
This is Sasolburg. Zamdela. Where many people wake up with no job, but with hope. This is Seun.
MMALETHABO: (inside shack, holding Mmomo) Seun, the milk is finished. Mmomo cried all night.
SEUN: I know. I will find something today. I promise.
SEUN: (kisses baby) Good morning, Mmomo. Papa loves you.
*SCENE 2: EXT. FACTORY GATE - SASOLBURG - 08:00*
_Many men standing. Security._
GUARD: No jobs today! Go home!
Seun stays behind. Jimmy pulls him.
JIMMY: Seun, stop suffering. One drive to Joburg tonight, R5000. Easy money.
SEUN: What kind of car, Jimmy?
JIMMY: Stolen. Don't ask questions.
SEUN: (shows phone with baby photo) Look at my daughter, Lethabo Zondo. If police catch me, what will she eat? My wife Ntswaki Zondo will be alone. No, my brother. I want to be a hero for my family, not a criminal.
_Seun walks away._
*SCENE 3: EXT. STREETS OF ZAMDELA - AFTERNOON*
_Montage: Seun pushing lawnmower, knocking doors, cutting grass._
SEUN: Mma, can I cut your grass? Just R50.
_People say no, then one says yes. He gets R150. He runs to shop._
*SCENE 4: INT. SHACK - EVENING*
_Seun brings bread, milk, and small toy for Mmomo._
MMALETHABO: (crying) You did this?
SEUN: Yes. With my own hands. For my family.
MMALETHABO: You are the hero of this family, Seun. Not because you have money. Because you never give up.
They hug - THIS IS
