In Sudafrica negli anni Ottanta l'operaio Patrick Chamusso viene accusato ingiustamente di aver partecipato all'attentato contro la raffineria in cui lavora. Nonostante abbia un alibi l'uomo confessa di essere colpevole quando la polizia sottopone a crudeli torture sua moglie. Un poliziotto comprende la verità e lo rimette in libertà. Ma Patrick non è più l'uomo di prima e non potrà far altro che unirsi all'African National Congress e combattere per sé stesso, per la sua famiglia e per la sua gente.

Catch a Fire (2006)
101 min
The true story of anti-apartheid activists in South Africa, and particularly the life of Patrick Chamusso, a timid foreman at Secunda CTL, the largest synthetic fuel plant in the world. Patrick is wrongly accused, imprisoned and tortured for an attempt to bomb the plant, with the injustice transforming the apolitical worker into a radicalised insurgent, who then carries out his own successful sabotage mission.
