Synopsis
Just how far will you go? Would you risk your child's anger by invading their privacy? Would you tell on a friend? Would you redesign your unborn baby? Where do you draw the line?
Drawing the Line is a game show that challenges South Africans to exercise their moral and ethical muscle in a fun, entertaining and candid way.
By harnessing the power of entertainers combined with the spontaneity of improvisation, spirited debate and audience participation, two teams attempt to sway viewers to their perspective by unravelling the complexities often hidden in those apparently straightforward moral dilemmas we face everyday.
Poet Lebo Mashile hosts the show and the team leaders - radio personality Michelle Constant and writer Ndumiso Ngcobo - lead two debating teams with opposing views to the issue being addressed.
Drawing the Line is a co-production between Current Affairs Films and Jungle Works.
