Beat the Drum is a powerful coming-of-age drama following young Musa, who journeys from his rural KwaZulu Natal village to Johannesburg after a tragedy strikes his family. Carrying his father's tribal drum, Musa confronts the harsh realities of urban life while maintaining his indomitable spirit, ultimately returning home with profound wisdom that transcends his elders' understanding.
