Find it on 3's video: 21 Icons - Gcina Mhlope: Short Film

Photographer and filmmaker Adrian Steirn is enchanted by storyteller Gcina Mhlophe, who comes alive as an impassioned storyteller of not just history, folktales and myths, but of present-day South Africa. 21 ICONS South Africa is an annual collection of photographs and short films of South Africans who have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their fields of endeavour. These men and women have been an inspiration through their extraordinary social contribution. It is not a definitive list and does not denote any ranking. The short film-series documents the conversations between Steirn as the photographer and filmmaker and the icons. Each short film provides insight into both the subject and photographer's creative approach to the portrait.
