On the big screen: Cold Harbour.
Starring: Tony Kgoroge, Fana Mokoena, Deon Lotz, Thomas Gumede, Yu Nan and Zolani Mahola.
Director: Carey McKenzie.
A seasonal south-easterly storm washes up the mutilated body of a Chinese man on a Cape Town beach.
For township cop Sizwe Miya, this is an opportunity to prove himself and earn the promotion he desperately needs. His boss and mentor, Venske, gives Sizwe the case but assigns a rookie cop, Legama, to keep an eye on him.
Sizwe discovers that the homicide is linked to Triad (Chinese mafia) abalone smuggling in Cape Town.
But Venske is on the wrong side’s payroll and he is setting up Sizwe to become an unwitting ally in a criminal scheme.
In a world where self-interest and corruption have overtaken personal loyalty and civil duty, Sizwe is left with no-one to trust.
His life is threatened when he refuses to go along with the scheme.
Integrity demands that he betray a friend and take the law into his own hands, so he defies Venske.
