I rented this from NETFLIX mainly because I am a fan of its STAR Paul Bettany,
This motion picture was directed & written by Ross Kettle & is an adaptation of his play SOWETO IS BURNING.
Paul portrays a South African raised to manhood during the Aparteid struggles; Louise Lombard (a TV actress) is a beautiful lady in love with Paul.: Ariyon Bakare ( a very good looking & fine South African actor), He is innocently involved with Louise& thus precipitates the enfolding drama.
This 1999 film was made in South Africa & I actually felt I was there watching it ALL. The production was made on a shoestring budget, & thusly we have a tighter film.
The only negative thing I can add is that those who do not have closed captioning may have trouble with the various accents.
My rating is based on seeing this excellent film with Closed Captioning.
Ratings **** (out of 4) 98 points(out of 100) IMDb 10 (out of 10
