About the People of the Horizon Foundation

The People of the Horizon Foundation  will be established as a reinvestment initiative to honour and support the very community that is at the heart of the documentary’s story. Matambile’s village, and its youth, embody the essence of resilience, cultural richness, and the delicate balance between tradition and modernity that the film seeks to highlight. Because their lives and voices are central to the narrative, it is only fitting that the documentary’s success directly benefits them by addressing the community’s self-identified needs and aspirations.

The rationale behind the People of the Horizon Foundation is rooted in the belief that storytelling should be transformative and not extractive. By reinvesting in the people who shared their lives and experiences, the fund aims to ensure that the impact of the film goes beyond the screen and fosters sustainable change. This approach acknowledges that the true value of the documentary lies not just in telling a compelling story, but in empowering the community to thrive and secure a brighter future for the next generation.
