Nearly three years in the making, When The War Is Over deals with the after-effects of the fight against Apartheid as experienced by survivors active in a militant self-defence unit operative in the mid-1980s. One is an army captain now, back from exile and still unable to come to terms with life after Apartheid, not least the prospect of marriage. Another is trying to abandon a life of violent crime. Gritty yet beautiful, visually innovative yet hard-hittingly realistic, this film takes us on an intense emotional and visual journey into a world of drug addicts, gangsters and militants, a world which seems to have little to offer the men who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the struggle.

Francois Verster will introduce this World Premiere of his film.
