giant steps: the complete transcript #18
TITLE OVER SCREEN : Giant Steps is dedicated to Bra Geoff Mphakati who passed away during the shooting of this, his first documentary as director.
Lefifi Tladi: So now we don’t make poems we create, for brother Geoff.
Lefifi Tladi: A spontaneous reflection of our soul steps…you have trembled beyond the illusion of political manifestations.
Lefifi Tladi: Oh silent god…
Thou whose voice afar in mist and mystery hath left our ears an-hungered in these fearful days
We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and humble men.
When our devils do deviltry, curse Thou the doer and the deed:
curse them as we curse them
Geoff Mphakati: You need to revisit your past, to be able to be able to move ahead, until you revisit your past, you are moving ahead into a void.
