Uncle Frankie (Danny Trejo) isn't the kind of guy you would want to meet in a dark alley. Especially when you owe him money and have been giving him the slip for a few years. Such is the fate of Lorenzo, a top bill collector at Lump Sum Loans, who owes Uncle Frankie $100,000 and has been hiding out in Virginia. But now Frankie has tracked him down, and along with his enforcer, Omar, is shadowing Lorenzo's every move. With his back against the wall, the only people Lorenzo can find to turn to are the local Pastor and some inner city down and outs, who serve as unwitting pawns in his scam to pay Frankie back.
The indoctrination of Gerrit Wolfaardt (Jan Ellis) is complete: his family traditions, history, culture - even his church - have taught him that black South Africans are cancer. Under the eye of prominent members of the government and military, Gerrit develops a diabolical plan to rid South Africa of its 'black danger.'Before his plans can be carried out, he meets two people who will put him on a collision course with his future: Celeste (Liezel van der Merwe), an open-minded university student, and Peter Lekota (John Kani), a pastor who challenges Gerrit's prejudice. His 'final solution' meets its greatest obstacle when Gerrit himself realizes he is wrong.The Persecutor then becomes the Peacemaker and begins to seek reconciliation between whites and blacks. However, in the turbulent last days of apartheid, there are some who doubt his radical transformation. One such person is Moses Moremi (Mpho Lovinga), whom Gerrit had once violently attacked. In the films dramatic conclusion, it is Moses who must choose between peace and bloodshed.Based on a true story, this remarkable film features international cast, including Tony Award winner, John Kani.
