Synopsis

2024.
"The people demand reparations for the atrocities committed against them for hundreds of years by white settlers in South Africa.”
Land. Economy. Blood.

Reparation is a political dark comedy about the state of a nation. Set in a fictional future South Africa in which a new political party has risen to power on three tenants; Land Reparations without Compensation, Economic Reparations without Compensation, and Blood Reparations without Compensation. Reparation asks how far we are willing to go for what we are owed, and what the costs of that may be.
