With support from the US Consulate in Johannesburg, the NSA Festival is proud to present special screenings of A Ballerina's Tale - The Incredible Rise of Misty Copeland a film by Nelson George. David Fear of the Rolling Stone Magazine wrote of the movie, "Inspirational doesn't begin to describe it." Misty Copeland defied all stereotypes and limiting perceptions to become the first African American prima ballerina in the American Ballet Theatre. Her journey well encapsulated in one of her many motivational quotes, "You can start late, look different, be uncertain and still succeed," promises to resonate with young South African audiences.
