Screen Mapantsula
Manpantsula is set during demonstrations in apartheid-era South Africa, police arrest not only activists but also Panic, a “mapantsula” or petty gangster. While a cop tries to get him to make incriminating statements, we learn in flashbacks how Panic got caught up in the township riots. In April 2024, cinemas across the country will be presenting this classic South African film as part of a nationwide tour of the film as part of the 30 year anniversary of South African freedom, and your community cinema can also take part!
