Mapantsula (Hustler)
Mapantsula
tells the story of Panic, a petty gangster who inevitably becomes caught
up in the growing anti-apartheid struggle and has to choose between
individual gain and a united stand against the system. Mapantsula will
give viewers an insider's tour of township life and a foretaste of the
vibrant popular cinema promised by the new, democratic South Africa.

"A moral drama
in disguise...Our conscience and sense of outrage are ripped open." "It's about
time a feature film presents South Africa from a black perspective.
Mapantsula does that and much more."
