Letters of Hope (2019)

In a country without hope one letter can save us all.

Set in 1976 Apartheid-era South Africa and based on a true story, this powerful film tells the story of a young man caught between his father's wishes and his own dreams. After his father is brutally killed, 16-year-old Jeremiah discovers that he had been delivering secret letters from freedom fighters in exile and prison on his rounds as a postman. When he learns that his father's last wish was for him to take over this work and continue delivering the letters, Jeremiah — who dreams of joining the police force — faces an impossible choice.
