The vast, stunning landscape of South Africa’s Eastern Cape takes the place of the Old West in this John Ford-style South African western, which builds to a High Noon-style finale.
Twenty years ago, in Marseilles, South Africa, the young Five Fingers gang flees after a violent stand against brutal police oppression. Now, freedom-fighter-turned-outlaw Tau is back, seeking only a peaceful, pastoral, life. But the town is facing a new threat, so must the Five Fingers ride again? Five Fingers for Marseilles is on screen as part of the Afrika Eye festival.
