Festival history

Set in rural South Africa, this is a surprising story about an unconventional horse race and a humble man who is risking his livelihood to win it. It's about a dream, passion and blind faith, against the odds. \par Mr. King Naki has the greatest racehorse in the whole of upper and lower Bolotwa. He was raised to follow in his father's footsteps, working as a stable hand in the city. But he had bigger plans, so he quit the stables and spent all his savings to buy a horse. His dream is to win the annual Amateur Horseracing Championships.
