GS (Grant Swanby): On South African films we don’t have the budget to take a year off to work out and prepare. We had to work and try find time to train. We were cast in the film first, then we had to learn how to canoe. We weren’t canoeists before. LT: I did quite a bit of training. It was not just canoeing but fitness in general. When we were cas...
LT: The strategy is opposite feet – it’s a rhythmic thing. I step with my right foot and Grant steps with his left foot. Our heads are on opposite sides of the boat on our shoulders. Whoever is in front leads the way. When I feel Grant’s rhythm and he jumps, then I jump. The boat is heavy; it’s not unbearable when you lift it off the ground, but af...
GS: One of the major obstacles in the filming process was the drought. A lot of the rivers in KwaZulu-Natal dried up, so we had to shoot on the Vaal River because there wasn’t enough water. LT: At the one river location, the water came up to our ankles – it was just puddles. They released some water [out of a dam] for a race that was taking place o...
LT: There’s a lot of beauty in the Valley of 1000 Hills. It is one of the most beautiful places in the country … remarkable. GS:I grew up in Durban. I’ve been familiar with the Dusi since I was a child, so it was wonderful for me to be part of this. Towards the end of the film, there’s a beautiful shot where the camera lifts up and you can see wher...
GS: The film is really about trust and listening to each other in South Africa. It’s about unity. The story must be told. Everything we’re hearing in the press at the moment is divisive. It feels like this country is so fractured and nobody gets along. We also see, with regards to decision making, it’s important to trust and understand somebody els...
LT: Obviously I hope it does really well. I hope it will inspire South Africans to watch our own films. The more people go to the cinema to support, the better films we can make – more investors will throw money into the local industry. Our storytelling shouldn’t just be for South Africans. It should be for the world. GS:People should go see the fi...
GS: We could probably do it, but whether or not we’d want to would be the question! I am more of a cycling and running guy. LT:In training I couldn’t steer, and as the person who sits in the front of the boat, that’s what you do. That was a big challenge for me and if we were to do the Dusi, I definitely wouldn’t sit at the front. • Beyond the Rive...
On the surface, Beyond the River is the story of two troubled and restless men, Steve and Duma, whose lives cross and merge like the meeting of two rivers when they commit their souls to the crucible of the Dusi.
Jun 19, 2024 · South Africa needs Beyond the River, an uplifting sports drama based on a true story. At this point in time, our country’s politics is still divided along racial lines, or rather that’s what some parties would have you believe.
Jun 22, 2021 · Like all good sports films, Beyond the River is based on a true story, and the retelling of how these two men not only met but won gold at the 2014 Dusi is the perfect catalyst for a moving and compelling story.
