Vox Pop: Students share their opinions about Inxeba (The Wound)
VICTORY PARK – Students give their opinions about the controversial film, Inxeba (The Wound).
LEBOGANG MASHINGO:
Shouldn't be a secret, there's nothing special about what happens in the mountains. These practices result in men being disrespectful to women and non-Xhosa men or men who have not gone to the mountain. The movie shows parents that they need to protect and love their gay children within the context of the culture.
The release of Inxeba (The Wound) in South Africa has caused mixed reactions and in some instances, outrage, especially in the Eastern Cape where the film has largely not been screened due to a public outcry.
Northcliff Melville Times spoke to community members and asked them what they thought of the film and whether or not it should be banned.
