Blind Ambition
Like a fine wine, this is a well-balanced documentary that goes down smoothly. It follows four young Zimbabwe men who escape to South Africa in the hope of starting new lives. Strangers when they meet, they discover a shared brilliant talent for identifying wine even though they’ve never so much as sipped the stuff in their native country. The film follows them as they become all-knowing sommeliers. With charm and admirable chutzpah they infiltrate a white world by competing as a team at the World Wine Tasting Championship in Burgundy, France.
South Africa 2022 (96 minutes)
