After years of suppression, this true classic of guerrilla filmmaking is now available to watch in stunning 4K to mark the 30th anniversary of South African Freedom Day in April.
Small-time crook Panic thinks he sees all the angles, but when he is captured by the authorities, he’s pushed to betray the revolutionaries fighting for change.
Director Oliver Schmitz worked closely with co-writer and lead actor Thomas Mogotlane to produce the film under extreme censorship, bravely creating a radical and rare anti-apartheid feature film.
Followed by a post-screening Q&A by director Oliver Schmitz.
Delivered in partnership with Dare to Diva Productions and Phoenix.
