Mapantsula is the first anti-apartheid feature film by, for and about black South Africans. Filmed in Soweto and scored to the urban beat of "Township Jive," it tells of a petty hoodlum, Panic (played by Thomas Mogotlane), caught up in the events of the student riots in Soweto and his transformation from irresponsible loner to someone compelled to take a stand. Winner of seven South African Film Awards but originally banned in that country.
