"We wanted to take an inter-generational approach," says documentary filmmaker, journalist, and Habits of Gen Z director, Jo Munnik. "We wanted to tackle really important social issues through the lens of different generations, with a strong focus on Gen Z."

A neurologist confirmed a devastating diagnosis: Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma – a rare brain tumour affecting children. An operation to remove the tumour left her suffering from severe epilepsy and unsure whether she’d ever regain full mobility. By her early twenties, and after two more brain surgeries, Amy had four titanium plates and 16 titanium screws in her skull and was missing about a quarter of her brain. But she didn't give up, turning her gaze towards the future and enrolling at Stellenbosch University. In April this year, Amy graduated with a PhD in ancient cultures - a thrilling climax for the woman with just 75 percent of her brain.

It’s fair to say that Amy is not too pleased with her Wild Cast-induced new look! She also chats about her tied destiny with Renier.
