Mapantsula.
During demonstrations in apartheid-era South Africa, the police arrest Panic, a “mapantsula” or petty gangster, while rounding up activists. His interrogation reveals the motivation for his involvement in the riots. Once only concerned with personal interests, Panic finds himself irreversibly pulled into the fray. Now, he must choose between freedom and taking a stand against oppression.
