From acclaimed South African filmmaker Kenneth Kaplan, Pure Blood is the first South African-financed feature film to come out of the government’s Department of Arts and Culture and the National Film and Video Foundation. It has been screened at film festival around the world and was awarded the Lucio Fulci Award at the Fantafest Rome Festival in 2001. This controversial dark comedy stars legendard South African actor Marius Weyers (The Gods Must Be Crazy, The Power of One) and Amanda Lane (Mandela and Deklerk). The film follows a young white police rookie, Fanus, living in a strangely unreal industrial town. His late father was a sinister general in the Apartheid regime and his long-lost older brother has just returned home to resume an incestuous relationship with his mother. Little does Fanus know his “racially pure” blood is the key to resurrecting his dead father and the sinister order he embodied!
