synopsis

Alatha's father calls himself a Mover. Using African dance moves, he helps kids in Khayelitsha township transcend hardship and "find their superpowers." The Mover is also a single father and, while he has helped many kids, he still has difficulty getting his daughter to find her own powers. But in a tender moment together this is all about to change.
