About the Movie
The Umbrella Men (2022) is a visceral and “head-spinning” South African caper comedy that explores the “dark realities” of gentrification and the “spiritual cost of power” within Cape Town’s vibrant Bo-Kaap neighborhood. The narrative follows Jerome Adams (Jaques de Silva), a prodigal musician who returns home from Johannesburg following the death of his estranged father. To his surprise, he inherits the debt-ridden Goema Club and The Umbrella Men minstrel troupe. Faced with the “ruthless” threat of repository and local corporate entities seeking to erase his family’s legacy, Jerome forms a “burning ambition” to save the institution. It stands as a study of “resilience and grit,” where the “extraordinary beauty” of Cape Malay culture clashes with a “not nice” corporate takeover.
