Silverton Siege (2022) is a gripping, high-stakes thriller based on real events. Set in 1980s South Africa, it follows the desperate and daring efforts of three young anti-apartheid activists – Adam, a photographer, and two freedom fighters, Siya and Tumi – who, in a bid to expose the horrors of the apartheid regime, find themselves caught in an escalating hostage situation at a bank in Silverton, Pretoria.

The trio’s protest quickly spirals out of control when they take several hostages, including innocent civilians and a police officer, all while the country is in the grip of political unrest. With the police surrounding the building and a nationwide manhunt for the activists underway, Adam, Siya, and Tumi are forced to confront their own fears and motivations. As the tension inside the bank rises, they struggle with the choices they’ve made, grappling with the ideals of justice and sacrifice.
