A professional boxer whose career is coming to an end teams up with his criminal brother to set up a life-changing fight. But they get more than they bargained for in this acclaimed sports drama written and directed by Jahmil XT Qubeka., SA’s 2019 Oscar entry about John Kepe, a Robin Hood figure rebelling against a repressive regime. While going through his traditional initiation, a young man’s life is turned upside down when his secret is discovered.
Beautifully shot and acted, this compelling drama is a SA cinema gem — but it was not without controversy. Not only does it deal with difficult subjects such as homosexuality in a traditional context, it also exposed the secret rites of initiation that many felt should not have been seen on film. This noir Western is set in the late 1980s/early 1990s and combines a mixture of genres into a melting pot of brilliance.
