Vaughan Gardiner’s new single from the movie “Uitvlucht” released today

“Bou aan liefde”, the official theme song of the new Afrikaans film “Uitvlucht” will be released this week. Tonight at 20:00, this song will be played for the first time on GrootFM and tomorrow, “Bou aan liefde” will be heard on kykNET.tv. Thereafter, it will be released to radio stations nationwide.

“Vaughan Gardiner, well-known singer, songwriter and producer wrote this song especially for the movie,” writes Alishia van Deventer from Starburst Promotions.

“It’s an unbelievable privilege to have this song in Uitvlucht,” Vaughan said recently.

“Uitvlucht” is director and producer Regardt van den Bergh’s new film and is a drama that tells the story of Anna (Clara Joubert van den Bergh) who loses everything in her life due to a wrong decision and subsequently finds work on the farm school, Uitvlucht.

With the support of other teachers and Dok (Stian Bam), a kind farmer who visits the school and befriends her, she learns to forgive herself and starts accepting that someone might be able to love her again.

She also becomes involved in the school children’s lives and their pain and tries to offer them salvation.

Vaughn said that he watched a raw cut of the film with his wife, Nerine.  “We immediately knew what the feel of the song had to be.  She started writing the lyrics and I found it really easy to write the right melody for the film.  It is a movie that you don’t simply watch, but also feel,” he said.

Uitvlucht is described as a story of hope, mercy and of a love that conquers everything.
