About Banned
"Banned" uncovers the compelling story of "Joe Bullet," a groundbreaking 1971 South African action thriller. As the first film to feature an all-black African cast, it faced immediate censorship upon its 1973 release. This documentary delves into the film's tumultuous history, featuring interviews with surviving cast members Abigail Kubeka and Sol Rachilo, producer Tony Van Der Merwe, and banned filmmaker Kevin Harris.
Directed by Naledi Bogacwi, Banned leans on a strong ensemble — Gcina Mhlophe, Abigail Kubeka, Sol Rachilo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2024.
