"In the old South Africa, a Xhosa boy is used as a pawn by a white farmer to 'train' his puppy. Ten years later in the new South Africa, both their lives lie in the balance at the mercy of the fully grown dog".
If anyone tells you you cannot 'really' emotionally connect with audiences in a short film format, please show them INJA, by Australian director and AFTRS graduate Steve Pasvolsky.
Beautifully shot, and skillfully directed, this short film is both insightful and moving. Nominated for an Academy Award, and having already won several awards, including the Live Action Film over 15', Student Category at the Palm Spring International Festival of Short Film, USA in 2001.
If you come across this film, please take the time to watch it... it's remarkable!
