From acclaimed South
African filmmaker Kenneth Kaplan, Pure Blood is the
first South African-financed feature film to come out of
the governments Department of Arts and Culture and
the National Film and Video Foundation. It has been screened
at film festival around the world and was awarded the Lucio

controversial dark comedy stars legendard South African

The film follows

with his mother. Little does Fanus know his racially
pure blood is the key to resurrecting his dead father
and the sinister order he embodied!
