The Lucky Specials

The story centers on The Lucky Specials, a small-time cover band in a dusty mining town in South Africa. Mandla works as a miner by day, but is the lead singer of the Lucky Specials by night, eager to make his mark on African music. When tragedy strikes, Mandla and the band must find the strength to make their dreams reality. The Lucky Specials tells an entertaining and educational story aimed at empowering communities to make informed decisions related to tuberculosis (TB), which is devastating communities across southern Africa.
