Stargazer (aka Roepman) is an epic drama, based on the Jan van Tonder novel with the same title. It tells the story of a 1966 South African railway community, told through the eyes of an eleven year old boy, called Timus. Timus and his family are trapped within the structural violence caused by the government and the church of the day. It is a story with unforgettable characters and it combines the magical world of childhood beautifully with the cold realistic world we live in.
Awards: Various South African Film and Television (SAFTA) Nominations. First South African Afrikaans Film to have distribution in North America
