🎙️ BONUS EPISODE from our podcast sisters at Shades & Layers
What happens when the dream your mother sacrificed everything for becomes your personal nightmare? Johannesburg-based filmmaker Karabo Lediga explores this haunting question through her debut feature film "Sabbatical" – a raw portrayal of a 30-something woman forced to return home after professional failure, confronting how her elite education created distance from her mother and the psychological cost of chasing parental dreams. From Netflix's "Queen Sono" to her grandmother-inspired short "What Did You Dream?" - Karabo shares insights on sustaining a creative career in South Africa's evolving film landscape and her commitment to authentic storytelling.
