The first teaser trailer for the new local film, Free State has been released.
The story is set in 1979 in South Africa, a pass system was in place restricting the movement of non-whites. In the Orange Free State, Indians were not allowed to reside or own land or do business, in fact they needed permission to be in the province.
Jeanette is a beautiful open minded law student. During her summer holiday with her father in the Free State, a random act of kindness by an attractive Indian man, Ravi, sparks an unexpected love affair. Secret meetings followed but when they are found out, all hell breaks loose.
It will be in cinemas next year so look out for it.
