2. RASSIE' From the makers of the award-winning Chasing The Sun and Two Sides, Rassie takes us all the way back to the beginning of the journey that Rassie Erasmus took to becoming SA Rugby's director of rugby.
We see the world through the eyes of young Johan, who grew up in Despatch under apartheid and went on to become a generational talent on the field. Recognised as a leader of men, he changed his career path to become a coach, using methods ahead of his time.
This is an 80-minute adventure into the mind of the controversial man who gave Springbok fans and players a fresh dose of hope and another World Cup trophy.

Rassie can be streamed from 16 December on Showmax Pro and 23 December on Showmax.
3. LAKUTSHON' ILANGA' Lakutshon' Ilanga (aka When the Sun Sets) tells the story of a young nurse (SAFTA nominee Zikhona Bali from Is'Thunzi) in 1985 apartheid South Africa. She must face her worst fears when she learns that her activist younger brother (Aphiwe Mfeke may be in danger when he doesn't return after school. The short is inspired by actual events.
Written and directed by Phumi Morare, Lakutshon' Ilanga won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Short (Live Action) this year, having taken home the Student Academy Award in 2021, among other honours.
