GIRL, TAKEN Available from 20 February
The 92-minute documentary follows Celeste and Morne Nurse, whose baby daughter Zephany was stolen from the hospital three days after her birth in Cape Town in April 1997. For 17 years, the devastated couple searched for Zephany, regularly making media appeals, hiring private detectives, and following false leads.
Then in 2015, their second daughter, Cassidy, enrolled in a new school, where other pupils pointed out an older pupil, Miche Solomon, who looked much like her. DNA samples confirmed that Miche was Zephany, and she had grown up only a few miles from the Nurse's home. The Nurses were overjoyed, and the story saw them becoming media darlings worldwide.
However, the arrest and trial of the seamstress Miche knew as her loving mother devastated her, and ultimately, she chose to remain with the kidnapper's family. The Nurses, against all expectations, lost their daughter a second time. This film follows the process of two broken families climbing the difficult path toward forgiveness and wholeness.
BLIND AMBITION Available from 28 February
The inspiring story of four Zimbabwean refugees who conquered the odds to become top South African sommeliers, the heartwarming documentary film Blind Ambition won the Audience Award at the Tribeca and Sydney film festivals, among others.
Forming Zimbabwe's first-ever wine tasting team, the four set sights on the coveted title of World Wine Tasting Champions. From the moment they arrive in France to compete, this team of mavericks turns an establishment of privilege and tradition on its head.
THE SMEDS AND THE SMOOS Available from 9 February
The Smeds and The Smoos tell the story of two warring families whose children, Bill and Janet, fall in love and run away together. Hotly pursued by their grandparents, Grandfather Smed (comedian Bill Bailey) and Grandmother Smoo (Adjoa Andoh from Bridgerton), the two young aliens lead their families on a chase across space, giving them the opportunity to find out they have more in common than they think.
The Smeds and The Smoos is the 10th TV adaptation of a Donaldson and Scheffler book for the BBC by Magic Light Pictures. Previous adaptations include the Oscar-nominated classics The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom.
DONKERBOS Binge now

THE WIFE S3 New episodes on Thursday, with a broadcast break on 16 and 23 February
The truth is finally out: Mthaniya's father is Qhawe, not Mqhele. Hlomu's not even apologetic about sleeping with her husband's brother. Brother, she tells Nkosana at the family intervention. I don't know what you mean when you put it like that - that you people forgive me. Because now it seems like I acted alone in this. What about Qhawe and Mqhele? Why aren't you blaming them too?
Hlomu goes on to place the blame squarely on Mqhele's past abuse, which caused a miscarriage, and his murder of her fianc Sandile. She says she was so angry that she wanted to see if this family would kill one of their own. But with Mqhele pulling a gun on her soon after, she might be the next to die instead
Is Mthaniya's paternity the final straw for Qhaledi? Neither seems able to move on: Qhawe's latest hookup leaves him and Mqoqi walking home half naked after their drinks were spiked and they were robbed, while Naledi's lobola engagements take a dive when Tshedi mentions her sister's sex tape
