NMIFF welcomes the entry of a short film “Elegy for a Revolutionary” from USA, DIRECTED by Paul van Zyl.

"Betrayal knows no limits when two friends turn to violence to fight racial equality. Encouraged by his friend, a young, idealistic journalist joins the African National Congress (ANC) to protest apartheid. When their acts of sabotage turn to murder, their relationship falls apart. The notoriously brutal police are hot on the trail. When captured, do these two friends turn on each other for survival or remain quiet, facing torture and death? Then one of them cooperates with the security police and becomes a witness for the state. With a country divided and loyalty strained, two men are forced to choose sides -- and suffer their fate. Right or wrong? Only one thing is certain: Betrayal knows no limits."
