The Showerhead
Overview
The Showerhead examines the work of cartoonist Zapiro, from his period as an anti-apartheid struggle-artist to his enduring role as a progressive commentator and freedom-of-expression champion. A review of former President Jacob Zumaβs scandal-ridden ascent, reign, and ultimate ousting, via his cartoons which capture issues in the post-Mandela period β corruption, subversion of the Constitution and the rule of law, and threats to freedom of expression. The film considers freedom of expression in contemporary South Africa with reference to the boundaries tested in Zapiroβs cartoons and his resolute defiance of attempts to stifle his work and affirms his continuing relevance.
