That film describes a part of my birth country's history and Uncle David (the director) was the first South African to be awarded the ASC after his name.

Next from Trevor: SHAG ANNIE PATROL (1970). A banned South African film about a girl named Annie and her conservative parents, who aim to stop her shagging at any cost!
