Homecoming

English 100mins South Africa 2005 35mm
Directed by Norman Maake
Homecoming is a story of love lost, of futures promised and about our struggle for freedom but above all it is about friendship. Set in 1996, this feature length film is cut from what was originally a mini- series for SABC 2.

It follows the return of three exiled MK soldiers; Charlie, Peter and Thabo. Forced to deal with the harsh realities of exile, their friendship begins to take on a new meaning. Director, Norman Maake, shows great talent and an incredible command of the screenplay and his cast, which includes several of South Africa's most acclaimed actors.

The plot draws on the real life experiences of the writer, Zola Maseko an acclaimed filmmaker, who was himself a soldier in the ANC's army- "MK".
