Blind Ambition (12a)

Dir: Warwick Ross & Rob Coe | Australia | 2022 | 97 mins
Documentary

An unlikely team of Zimbabwean sommeliers travels to France to enter the prestigious World Wine Tasting Championship in this immensely enjoyable documentary.

Joseph, Marlvin, Pardon and Tinashe are refugees who escaped violence in Zimbabwe to build new lives in neighbouring South Africa, but met with prejudice and economic hardship in their new country. Taking jobs as waiters, they each discovered a taste for the complex subtleties of wine – and after meeting each other, formed the first Zimbabwean team to enter the Olympics of the wine tasting world in France.

Charting Joseph, Marlvin, Pardon and Tinashe’s journey to the championship, fuelled by humour, tenacious optimism and affection for one another, Blind Ambition also movingly depicts the team’s tremendous pride in their Zimbabwean roots – representing their country on the world stage and offering a fuller perspective on a country torn apart by conflict.

This title is presented in partnership with Eastbourne Film Society. The screening on Thursday 15 December will include an introduction by Mansel Stimpson, Chair of EFS.
