Rachel Kolisi – Falling Forward Official Documentary Screening Experience: Johannesburg

Rachel Kolisi – Falling Forward: Official Documentary Screening Experience

Falling Forward is a deeply personal documentary that follows Rachel Kolisi through the defining seasons of her life, identity, loss, healing, motherhood, courage, and rediscovery. This exclusive screening invites audiences into her world with honesty and vulnerability, offering a rare look at the moments that shaped the woman she is today. The documentary is not about divorce, or public speculation; instead, it focuses on her personal journey and the quiet strength that has guided her forward.

At its core, Falling Forward explores the universal experience of falling and choosing to rise again. Through intimate storytelling, Rachel opens up about losing yourself, finding yourself, starting over, and discovering resilience in unexpected places. “We all fall,” she says. “But how we choose to move forward is what defines us.”

This warm and connective screening experience includes the full documentary, a women-led market where guests can support local female entrepreneurs, and an intimate fireside chat with Rachel, where she unpacks the themes of the documentary.

In March 2026, Falling Forward will travel across South Africa as part of a national roadshow, bringing this experience to Makhanda, Gqeberha (PE), Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.

Falling Forward is not a story of ending; it is a story of becoming. It invites women to reflect on their own journeys, recognise their strength, and remember that forward motion often begins long before we feel ready.

Museum Africa: Challenges

As of 2026, Museum Africa also stands as a symbol of the challenges facing urban heritage in a developing megacity. For years, the museum has battled with funding shortages and the physical toll of maintaining a century-old industrial building. Heritage activists and the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation have frequently stepped in to advocate for the protection of its “at-risk” archives, which include invaluable architectural drawings of the city’s early skyline. Despite these struggles, the museum remains a vital “cultural bedrock.” It sits adjacent to the Market Theatre, where the “protest theatre” of the 1970s challenged the regime, and overlooks Mary Fitzgerald Square, the historic site of labor strikes and political rallies. Museum Africa is not a polished, sterile “white cube” gallery; it is a gritty, honest, and deeply layered institution that mirrors the resilience of the Newtown district itself.
