Local film-maker Enver Samuel is inviting the public to come out and enjoy the screening of his South African Film and Television Award-winning documentary, Someone to Blame – The Ahmed Timol Inquest, at the 8th Annual Jozi Film Festival taking place from 3 to 6 October.
Someone to Blame, the second of two interlinked documentaries on the death of Ahmed Timol, will be screening on Friday, 4 October at 7.30pm at The Bioscope, in Maboneng. The film follows on from Indians Can’t Fly (2015), a previous documentary that deals with Timol’s life, his detention and his death.
“This riveting documentary weaves a compelling narrative that draws on the 2017 re-opening of the inquiry into the untimely death and brutal murder of the young Ahmed Timol in 1971. The young activist died at the hands of the security police at the John Vorster Police Station in downtown Johannesburg, in an incident framed by the police as a suicide at the time,” said Samuel.
Someone To Blame recently won a SAFTA for best documentary short and best documentary at the Zanzibar International Film Festival.
Tickets cost R60 and can be bought directly from the Bioscope via https://www.thebioscope.co.za.
