From acclaimed director Jahmil Qubeka comes Knuckle City – a slice of life in South Africa’s Mdantsane township, in which we follow the journey of Dudu, a down-and-out boxer as he struggles to take part in the one fight that he believes will uplift his fractured family. Knowing that the boxing world is rife with criminality, he enlists the help of his reckless but resourceful gangster brother. Haunted by the ghost of their father, Dudu soon finds that the fight at home is far more challenging than any opponent he could possibly face in the ring
