It’s a classic... until you realise that the film also features the likes of John Kani‚ Atandwa Kani and former Rhythm City actress Connie Chiume.
Connie plays the role of the mining tribe elder and told TshisaLIVE that she was blown away by the production.
“I have worked on many international films shot in South Africa but this is the first time that I have worked on an international film based in America. It was amazing and a completely different experience‚” she said.
She said the film shows how much of an impact South Africa is having on Hollywood.
“The world obviously knows about John Kani but now they will be introduced to a few more South Africans. It is great that we are finally being recognised for our talent because we really have great actors who are just as good as any in America‚” Connie added.
