'My Octopus Teacher' wins BAFTA

The remarkable South African documentary, ‘My Octopus Teacher’ has bagged the prize for the Best Documentary, at the annual Bafta Film Awards.

It features diver Craig Foster as he befriends an octopus living in the kelp forests in the waters of False Bay.

The awards took place at London’s Albert Hall last night, without an audience due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Film Composer Kevin Smuts who joined us on Monday says the cast and crew did not expect to win and were pleasantly surprised.
