Institute History
Description
The small but tenacious Eziko Cooking and Catering Centre trains some of the poorest people from Cape Town’s slums for skilled jobs in the restaurant industry. A Place at the Table follows four of these students through classes and into internships at luxury hotels, where they are quickly pushed beyond the boundaries of their own dreams, into new and uncertain terrain. Their experiences provide a remarkable window on a struggle millions of the world’s poor undertake every day: the surprisingly difficult journey from poverty to middle class life.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
