When the Curator’s silence spreads through the rivers of KwaZulu-Natal, the Scavengers are sent to the wetlands — a place where water remembers everything.Led by Otsile Pheto, the quiet Stork of the group, the team must listen to the land itself to find what’s poisoning it. But when Otsile’s reflection starts whispering in her father’s voice, she learns that the silence isn’t just consuming sound — it’s rewriting memory.
As grief becomes a weapon and courage a prayer, the scavengers face their most haunting test yet: learning that sometimes, to survive, you must sing to the river that almost drowned you.
🪶 “Wetlands, Wingbeats” is an emotional, suspense-filled journey through loss, courage, and connection — blending African fantasy, ecological mystery, and teenage heart with breathtaking sound and soul.
