Worldwide recognition for ‘I am all Girl’ and SA film industry

Loading player...
A South African movie released on Netflix, 'I am all Girls' has received worldwide attention, being described as a "must-watch" for the acting and important storyline. The thriller tells the story of a detective who finds common ground with an unlikely ally - a killer who is systematically targeting perpetrators behind a powerful child-trafficking ring. It is based on a true South African story. One of the main characters, a detective called Ntombizonke, is played by Hlube Mboya-Turner. Mboya-Turner told BizNews that it was a difficult role to play, but as human trafficking is a crime with a very low conviction rate, she thought it was a story that had to be told. The film also highlights the quality of the South African film industry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
