About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
The true story of anti-apartheid activists in South Africa, and particularly the life of Patrick Chamusso, a timid foreman at Secunda CTL, the largest synthetic fuel plant in the world. Patrick is wrongly accused, imprisoned and tortured for an attempt to bomb the plant, with the injustice transforming the apolitical worker into a radicalised insurgent, who then carries out his own successful sabotage mission.
Patrick Chamusso begins as a quiet foreman whose life shifts from mundane labor to radical resistance after an unjust imprisonment. This transformation captures the precise moment an ordinary man becomes a revolutionary through the sheer weight of state brutality.
