In a remote desert town in South Africa, imagination and a knack for fashioning tin cans and scrap metal into dream cars, fuels a group of teenage kid’s passion to race in the Phillipstown WireCar Grand Prix. Here, teenagers race wire cars over rocky terrain for a gruelling 3 km’s, each battling for the medal that will make them a town champion. The race offers a platform for their talent, an opportunity to become known, and a chance to fashion a better life for themselves and their community. A joy-fueled race against isolation and inequality. Spotlighting the artistry and ingenuity behind the wirecars, the film affirms the dignity, creativity, and resilience of the children of Philipstown. Through the enduring spirit of these children, the film is a reminder of the power of dreaming, even when the odds say differently.
