Thank you, Raeesa Cassim, for stopping by Bertha Movie House during the Encounters Festival and sharing your thoughts on Her Khaltsha 🚲✨

We caught up with Raeesa after a screening of Her Khaltsha, an inspiring documentary that follows the young riders of the Khaltsha Cycles Bike Hub — Khayelitsha’s first all-girls cycling collective. Through their journeys on and off the bike, the film explores sisterhood, freedom, resilience, and the power of young women creating space for themselves while challenging stereotypes and reimagining what’s possible for their futures.

As Raeesa highlights in the video, the Khaltsha Cycling Academy is doing incredible work, using cycling as a tool for empowerment, mentorship, confidence-building, and community change for girls and young women in Khayelitsha.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special screening and conversation.

“Before you start filming, get to know the community.”

Director Joyce Nkgapele, director of Bridging the Disconnect, reflects on the importance of building relationships, listening deeply, and understanding the people at the heart of a story before the cameras begin rolling.

Documentary filmmaking is more than capturing moments—it’s about earning trust and creating space for authentic stories to be told.

🎬 Watch as Joyce shares why community engagement is an essential part of the filmmaking process.
