Q6
What is the social divide about in the movie?
The film highlights the class tension between Felix's township upbringing and the elitist private school he attends. This divide is represented through visual contrasts between crowded streets and polished classrooms, and through characters like Jeff Junior who embody cruelty and gatekeeping. Music becomes a bridge that challenges these stereotypes and prompts communal support across social barriers.
