The Great Dispute

The Great Dispute — Plot

Die groot twis, an Afrikaans kung fu comedy short film featuring puppets, is set in a landscape that stretches from the vast plains of the Karoo to the slopes of the Drakensberg. The teaser of writer and director Johann Vermaak’s satire promises “Pop, skiet en donder” in the story that turns the history of The Great Trek on its head. The short film is described as an Afrikaans Western with a retro approach, containing a strong dose of feminism to boot.
