Blind Ambition

A documentary charmer about four Zimbabwean refugees who conquer the odds to become South Africa’s top sommeliers.

Driven by relentless optimism, a passion for their craft and an unshakeable national pride, they form Zimbabwe’s first ever wine tasting team and set their sights on the coveted title of ‘World Wine Tasting Champions’. From the moment they arrive in France to compete, this team of mavericks turns an establishment of privilege and tradition on its head.

“Both uplifting and intriguing, showing how willpower, curiosity and perseverance can overcome adversity. I’ll drink to that!” ~Sheila Taylor, A Film Life
