Blind Eye tells a simple story that tries to make sense of the complex corruption in a democratic South Africa and is inspired by the brave people who continue to fight, even under threats of violence.  

Zandile, a young vibrant auditor with the Auditor General is driven to root out corruption wherever she finds it. She is dispatched to go and verify assets of a notorious municipality before its audit begins. Standing in the way is Gogo Dlamini, a fearless and corrupt businesswoman.

Complementary dessert reception included with double feature ticket. 

Screening in Zulu with English subtitles.
