SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Shot on location in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Mozambique,
this political thriller is based on the real-life story of
Patrick Chamusso. The film takes place in South Africa, spanning
from the country's turbulent and divided years in the 1980s
to the present day.
Patrick (played by Derek Luke) is an oil refinery employee
and soccer player who is apolitical - until he and his wife
are brutalized by government-sanctioned terror squads. Shocked
into action, Patrick reorients his sense of self and purpose.
Even as policeman Nic Vos (Academy Award winner Tim Robbins)
further insinuates himself into the lives of Patrick and his
family, Patrick becomes a rebel fighter and political operative,
staging daring solo attacks against the brutal apartheid regime.
Change must and will come, not only for South Africa but also
for Patrick, Nic, and those closest to them.
