Welcome to African Couch Potato once more. This week Gino looks at what's going down on the local scene, which includes a new movie set in Durban about a group of homeless men surving on society's fringes. Staying in Durban, it's part 2 of the latest Housewives Reunion. We reached out on the socials and asked what you thought, well, here are some of your responses. We take a look at a couple of movies and there is news of special e-Visas that are designed to facilitate film production, conferences and sports tournaments. Good going!
God’s Work - Set on the streets of Durban, where absurdity and hope walk hand-in-hand, God's Work is a surreal journey into the lives of four homeless friends who face a daily struggle to exist.

Trainwreck: The Real Project X - A Dutch teen's accidental public Facebook party invite goes viral, inspired by the Project X movie. Thousands RSVP. Officials ignore warnings. With no entertainment planned, arriving crowds in Haren turn to rioting.
