Showing the film "Catch a Fire"

A political thriller: the real-life story of a South African hero's
journey to freedom. In the country's turbulent and divided times in the
1980s, Patrick Chamusso is an oil refinery foreman and soccer coach who is
apolitical - until he and his wife Precious are jailed. Patrick is stunned
into action against the country's oppressive reigning system, even as
police Colonel Nic Vos further insinuates himself into the Chamussos'
lives.
