ABOUT
Be among the first to discover the film Blind Ambition at the Cape Town Labia on the 21st of July 2022 from 5:00pm with most of the actors of this internationally awarded movie. (Movie starts at 6:00pm sharp)
Join the heroes of this Epic movie at the Historic Cape Town Labia, and share this glamourous red carpet event with them. An unlikely team of Zimbabwean refugees turned sommeliers shake up the international wine establishment when they compete in the World Wine Tasting Championships. BLIND AMBITION is an inspiring underdog story for the ages.
Having escaped starvation and tyranny in their homeland of Zimbabwe, four refugees have conquered the odds to become some of South Africa's top sommeliers. Driven by relentless optimism, a passion for their craft, and 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. A truly uplifting documentary that celebrates just how irrepressible the human spirit can be.
This event is brought to you in partnership with the Stellenbosch Wine Routes, so you will be welcome with a complimentary glass from the great wineries from the South African Capital of wine. The VVIP dinner at Aubergine is organised in partnership with S. Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, the sommelier's water of choice.
The profit of the ticket sales will go toward the funding of Team Zimbabwe 2022 and Team South Africa 2022
