An aging, womanizing professional boxer and his career-criminal brother take one last shot at success and get more than they've bargained for.
Ghanian General Henry Anyidoho
Canadian Lt. General Romeo Dallaire was the military commander of the UN mission in Rwanda and this movie is personal and, all too true, story of his time there during the genocide of 1994. It is not quite as moving as the earlier Hotel Rwanda and is less geared to drama and emotional manipulation, but it is still grim and upsetting.
Gumboot Dlamini
En uno de los barrios más miserables de Johannesburgo (Sudáfrica), Tsotsi, un chaval de 19 años, ha borrado todos sus recuerdos, incluyendo su nombre real. Tsotsi significa "matón" o "gangster" en el argot callejero del guetto. Huérfano desde muy pequeño y obligado a salir adelante por sus propios medios, Tsotsi ha llevado una vida de privaciones extremas, tanto físicas como psíquicas. Tiene escasa conciencia de los sentimientos de los demás y se ha endurecido borrando cualquier sentido de la compasión. Gobernado por el impulso y el instinto, le mueve el miedo que inspira a otros. Sin nombre, sin pasado, sin ningún plan para el futuro, en un presente lleno de rabia, Tsotsi lidera su propio grupo de marginados sociales... (FILMAFFINITY)

Period drama Black Velvet Band takes us back to Victorian times when a gang of petty crooks find themselves sentenced to transportation to Australia, their ship, however, docks in South Africa and the gang manage to make their escape. The film starred Nick Berry, Chris McHallem and Todd Carty, who had all previously appeared in EastEnders together. The initial idea came from McHallem, whilst Nick Berry, thanks to being the darling of ITV at the time because of his hit show Heartbeat, had the clout to get it made.

This controversial political thriller, which provoked mass demonstrations and nine deaths in South Africa when it was first shown, gives dramatic form to the African National Congress's basic program of reconcilliation within a non-racialist, democratic society. A train massacre by an Inkatha militant causes the sole witness to the crime to flee the Soweto townships to take refuge in Johannesburg; but the violence follows him when his ANC comrades try to buy guns for a retaliatory raid against Inkatha supporters.
