SA filmmaker asked strangers to dance for him and made an amazing video!
South African filmmaker, Miklas Manneke has been travelling the world working on a social experiment project for two years.
Miklas Manneke is originally from Johannesburg but has travelled to China, France, the USA, Germany and right here at home in South Africa.
He started working on his project two years ago while travelling in China. He approached a stranger on the street and asked them to dance for him. Since then, he has travelled to multiple countries and asked people to dance for him. At first the participants were reluctant but eventually gave in.
The footage was shot and created using 4 different generations of iPhones but it will leave you speechless.
Chris Jones, a blogger passionate about filmmaking, interviewed Miklas Manneke about the reason behind the project, he had this to say…

“This is a passion project
that started over 2 years ago in China when I started asking strangers to dance
for me. The world is in a place right now where there are so many things
dividing us, be it boarders, languages or culture. There was something special
about sharing that moment with people around the world when they danced.
Something that transcended geography.”
