Thando (2022)
Thandoʼs life is hanging by a thread. Her entire community is fraught with gender-based violence, peer pressure, bullying and socio-economic challenges.
Thando meets an older man who introduces her to the finer things in life. Her affair with her “Blesser” crumbles when she falls pregnant, but itʼs the viral video of her being bullied at school that sends her completely over the edge.
Directed by Kagiso Modupe, Thando stars SAFTA winner Thembi Nyandeni (Isibaya, How To Ruin Christmas), SAFTA nominees Zikhona Bali (Is’thunzi, DiepCity) and Mpho Sebeng (Savage Beauty, Collision), and The Wife stars Gaisang K Noge and Siyabonga Shibe.
