GO! Season one

GO! is a coming-of-age drama set between two starkly different worlds: the vibrant inner city of Johannesburg and the lush, privileged grounds of St. Jude Private School. The story follows Siya ‘Bolt’ Gumede, a 17-year-old running prodigy who dreams of becoming an Olympic sprinter. His raw talent earns him a scholarship to St. Jude’s, where he hopes to access better facilities and training. However, a single night of poor decisions threatens to derail his dreams. Throughout the series, GO! explores themes of ambition, privilege, and the moral cost of chasing one’s dreams. The show tackles issues of social inequality, youth culture, and the consequences of making choices that affect those you care about.
