  Multi award winning reworking of the Gospels that see Jesus Christ cast as a revolutionary fighting oppression in contemporary Africa. Son of Man challenges the Hollywood depictions of a western looking messiah with a gritty portrayal of a political activist rallying a township. In the state of Judea in southern Africa violence poverty and sectarianism are endemic. The neighbouring Alliance has invaded to restore 'peace' at gunpoint. Bloody street battles accompany the neighbouring dictatorship's incursion into its weaker satellite. Promises of a transition to open democratic rule accompany summary executions and brutal massacres.
