Tale of man burned alive a haunting film

Man on Ground @amc - an interesting film about xenophobia in South Africa by Akin Omotoso.

The film is  set in Johannesburg's slums. It is a film about carrying baggage from one's past and making choices, the director said in the Q and A following the film.

It is based on riots that swept Johannesburg in 2008 when a Mozambican immigrant was burned alive. A haunting film about a serious issue that still plagues many parts of the African continent.
