Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member To all my South African friends you may appreciate & understand this film...so please fill me in...the story of white & black South African boys who are divided by a significant event in their childhood. 20 years later they reconnect & unintentionally foil the plans of extreme racist group & go on the run. Filled with odd & unusual humor...largely slapstick this may appeal to the nation than worldwide. Features some terrific sequences of South African Animals & landscapes.
