Vaselinetjie is the story of a white girl raised by her loving brown grandparents in a remote rural village. When welfare discovers she is not their biological grandchild, she is sent to an orphanage in the far-away city of Johannesburg. A deeply moving drama about identity, belonging, and the meaning of family — Vaselinetjie won Best Picture at the kykNET Silwerskerm Filmfees and Best Humanitarian Film at the Sedona International Film Festival.
