A Lucky Man

A Lucky Man is a powerful South African film that tells the true story of a boy who rises from hardship to become one of Cape Town’s most well-known comedians.

The story follows Clement Dlamini, a young coloured boy in the Apartheid era. Life is hard. There’s poverty, racism, and a broken home. But Clement is intelligent and full of dreams. He refuses to give up even when the world seems stacked against him. Instead, he uses laughter to deal with pain and finds comfort in comedy.
