Affiliate program

Help put Cape Town's story in front of the world.

Ubuntu is an independent documentary about Cape Town — the crime, the people, and the hope that runs underneath it. If you want this film seen, share it with your audience. Every account is automatically an affiliate — no application, no approval. We'll pay you 5% on every sale.

The film

A Cape Town story, told properly.

Filmed on the ground with the people who live it — Ubuntu sits with the reality of crime in South Africa and the communities holding the line. It's not a tourism reel. It's not a fear piece. It's the human story underneath the headlines.

How it works

Three steps.

01

Create an account

Free. Takes a minute. Verify your email and you're automatically an affiliate — no application.

02

Grab your link

Your dashboard gives you a personal referral link and the assets you need to share — ready immediately.

03

Earn 5%

We pay 5% on every sale made through your link — film purchases and screening licenses.

Who it's for

Getting paid

Simple terms.

5% commission

On every completed sale referred by your link — film purchases and screening licenses alike.

30-day hold

Commissions become payable 30 days after the sale, covering any payment disputes.

Monthly payouts via Stripe

Paid on the 1st of each month, straight to your email via Stripe — no bank details needed. Minimum payout £25 (or local-currency equivalent); smaller balances roll over.

No refunds, fewer surprises

Film sales are final, so commissions don't get clawed back unless a payment is reversed by the bank.

What do I share?
Your dashboard gives you a personal link, plus a kit of trailers, stills and short-form clips ready to post (rolling out over the launch).

What if I'm outside South Africa?
