Down So Long (2021)
The Showmax film Down So Long stars four-time SAFTA winner Tshamano Sebe (8, Of Good Report, Stokvel) as Joseph Mabena, who lives with his wife, Doreen, his children, their spouses, and his grandchildren in an overcrowded, 20-person house in the Hangberg fishing community above Hout Bay in Cape Town.
When he is injured in a workplace accident, Joseph is offered a substantial pay-out. His family suddenly rally round, professing their love in the hopes of getting their hands on the money, but Joseph vows not to part with a cent of his “hard-earned” cash.
Co-directed and co-produced by Angie Mills and Damir Radonic, Down So Long premiered at the 2022 Silwerskerm Film Festival, generating huge laughs and praise for the cast, who, apart from the two leads, were all drawn from the Hangberg community.
