Written and directed by award-winning dancer, actor and social entrepreneur Paul Modjadji and produced by Wandile Molebatsi (Silverton Siege), The Deal looks at the social challenges faced by young people in South Africa – issues of gender-based violence, mental illness, fatherlessness, and the fine line between coercion and consent.
