Endgame, directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point), received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Made for TV movie. The film, shot partly in South Africa with Film Afrika, re-tells the story by author Robert Harvey in his novel The Fall of Apartheid. The film was shot in South Africa over a period of four weeks, in Khayelitsha; Dornier Estate in Stellenbosch; Woodstock; Pollsmoor Prison; Drakenstein Prison and Stellenbosch University. The film focuses on the relationship that develops between Willie Esterhuyse and Thabo Mbeki, played by American Oscar-winner William Hurt (Kiss of the Spider Woman) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (2012) respectively. Veteran South African actor John Kani (Nothing but the Truth) plays struggle hero Oliver Tambo, while the film also stars Johnny Lee Miller (Æon Flux) as Micheal Young, Clarke Peters (The Wire) as Nelson Mandela, and Sherlock Holmes’ Mark Strong as a surprisingly convincing Dr. Neil Barnard. The Nike commercial, Human Chain, also partly shot in South Africa, received a nomination for Outstanding Commercial. The commercial features the world's best athletes, including South African Oscar Pistorius, the fastest man with no legs. | |||
