Moffie

'Moffie' is a powerful drama set in 1981 apartheid-era South Africa, following a young man who must endure the harsh realities of compulsory military service, all while concealing his homosexuality in a deeply intolerant environment. The film explores themes of identity, repression, and resilience against the backdrop of political and social turmoil.

Trivia:
1. 'Moffie' is based on the autobiographical novel by André Carl van der Merwe, bringing a deeply personal perspective to the film's portrayal of military life and social prejudice.
2. The film's use of the stark South African landscape was intentionally chosen to mirror the protagonist's emotional isolation and internal conflict.
3. Director Oliver Hermanus cast many actors from diverse backgrounds to authentically represent the complex societal tensions of 1980s South Africa.
