The latest project of Karyl-Lyn Sanderson - a 22-year-old, recent NYU film school graduate - is "Elusive Fortune", a documentary about the influence of western culture on young South Africans. It is at once intriguing and disturbing. In the film Karyl-Lyn interviews young Black South Africans, asking them to define themselves. Some responses are shocking. Karyl-Lyn documents the loss of traditional cultures in South Africa and the overpowering influence of the West. She talks here with the African Magazine.
