Behind every powerful story is a room full of people who refuse to let it stay small.
Meet the mentors of the Bertha Film Accelerator: Politics & Power - filmmakers, editors, and industry leaders who are helping shape the next wave of justice-driven storytelling across Africa.
Through hands-on sessions, honest feedback, and deep creative exchange, these mentors are guiding participants to push their stories further - politically, creatively, and emotionally.
Because telling the truth takes more than a camera.
It takes courage, community, and people who will challenge you to go deeper.
And this is that room.

Lights. Camera. Disruption. 🎬
Meet the participants for the Bertha Film Accelerator: Politics & Power — a collective of bold African documentary filmmakers who are not here to play it safe.
They are here to ask difficult questions, to challenge power and to tell the stories some would rather keep hidden.
For eight days at Bertha Retreat, they step away from the noise of production and into a space of deep thinking, radical collaboration, and fearless storytelling.
From narrative structure to community impact, these filmmakers are sharpening stories that don’t just inform — they shift systems.
Follow along as they develop films that speak truth to power.

Travel with purpose at Bertha Retreat
This past week at Bertha Retreat, things got a little competitive as we hosted the Bertha Cup with 5 amazing communities from the valley.
From fast-paced netball and soccer matches to lots of cheering on the sidelines, the valley was full of energy, laughter, and connection.
One of the best parts? This is all part of our travel with purpose experience — where our guests get to be part of meaningful, feel-good moments with the community.
Big shoutout to all the teams who played their hearts out and of course, to our champions!

At Bertha Retreat, we believe travel should feel good and do good. That’s why we have launched our guest volunteer initiative.
This week, we are thrilled to host the energetic R City Belfast youth group, all the way from Ireland.
They have shown up with open hearts and willing hands — supporting a local soup kitchen and taking part in a community clean-up.
And we’re not done yet!
Tomorrow, we wrap up with our annual Careers Day and, for the first time, a Sports Tournament with youth from the Valley.
Stay tuned to see who takes home the Bertha Cup 🏆

A massive shoutout to Nadu Placca Rodriguez, director of @thezooxyz — a purpose-driven global event agency — for hosting an incredible 3-hour masterclass on event coordination for the Bertha Spaces team and members of the Dwarsrivier Valley community.
What made it even more special? It was a beautiful act of reciprocity.
There’s something powerful about sharing skills, opening doors, and investing in growth. We’re always honoured to hold space for initiatives that uplift, upskill, and strengthen our staff and community — together.

This past weekend, Bertha Retreat turned up the heat as we hosted SWEAT Africa for a two-day gathering of top investors and Africa’s boldest deep-tech, biotech, and health startups.
Let’s just say…
The mountains got front-row seats to pitch decks.
The poolside became a hotspot for funding chats.
And innovation? It went on a little nature retreat of its own.
Our space transformed into a playground for big ideas, brave founders, and future-shaping conversations — and honestly, we live for moments like this. There’s nothing better than watching brilliant minds take over and make magic happen.
