The South African feature film, The Last
Victims, will have its world premiere and be in official competition at the Pan
African Film Festival, America’s largest and most prestigious international
Black film festival on February 8, 2019, in Los Angeles.
The political thriller - with a screenplay

is set in contemporary South Africa and was directed by veteran filmmaker
Maynard Kraak (Finders Keepers, Sonskyn Beperk, Vrou Soek Boer).
It was filmed

With a completely local cast and crew, the
movie stars Sean Cameron Michael (Black

and the Darkness, Zulu Love Letter) in the lead roles.
The Last Victims revolves around Dawid
(Michael), a former member of South Africa's infamous C1 Counter Insurgency
death squad, who must atone for his past when he helps one survivor Pravesh
(Egelhof) search for the bodies of a missing anti-apartheid cell. Unaware that
as they hunt for answers, they too are being hunted.
