For His Sake — A Story of Legacy, Love & the Barber’s Chair
Loading player...
In this episode, Caleb Daries and Mophethi Mabeba sit down with Abigail Baard (editor) and Nkululeko Ndlovu (cinematographer) — two members of the Stellenbosch University student team behind For His Sake, a short documentary selected for the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF), an Oscar-qualifying event.
The 10-minute film captures the intimate story of Faizel and his son Shuaib, who run Art’s Barber Shop in Ida’s Valley — a third-generation barbershop that is much more than just a place for haircuts. It’s a space of memory, mentorship, and quiet strength, where traditions are passed down and identities shaped.
We talk about:
– How the story was discovered and developed
– The collaborative filmmaking process in just three weeks
– Cinematic decisions that brought the shop and its people to life
– What DIFF selection means for young South African storytellers
– The deep emotional core behind the phrase “For His Sake”
If you care about storytelling, legacy, and the beauty of small, human moments — this episode is for you.
