Two friends, two destinies...one shot is all it takes

From South Africa comes a compelling story of fate and friendship as two boys make a simple choice that alters their lives forever. In the opening of this award-winning English-language film, young teens and best friends Madiba and Sipho discover a dead body clutching a briefcase that holds a gun and a video camera. The cocky Sipho grabs the gun which leads him into a life of street crime. The quieter Madiba takes the camera and discovers a new world through its lens. Winner of the Berlin Film Festival's Crystal Bear for Best Youth Film, this richly multilayered story offers an insightful look into the challenges facing post-Apartheid South Africa while telling an enchanting tale of sweet, artistic soul finding his true self.
