Moffie (2020)
Starring Kai Luke Brummer, Ryan de Villiers, Matthew Vey
Directed by Oliver Hermanus
Moffie (a derogatory Afrikaans term for a gay man) follows the story of Nicholas van der Swart: from a very young age, he realises he is different. Try as he may, he cannot live up to the macho image expected of him by his family, by his heritage. Set during the South African border war against communism, this is a long-overdue story about the emotional and physical suffering endured by countless young men.
