Plot

In the tumultuous landscape of 1980s South Africa, a man's quiet life is ripped apart, propelling him on a heroic journey towards freedom. This is the heartbeat of Catch a Fire, a riveting political thriller that dives headfirst into the life of Patrick Chamusso. Once an apolitical oil refinery foreman and soccer coach, Patrick's world unravels when he and his wife Precious are unjustly incarcerated. The encounter with the oppressive system leaves him utterly transformed, igniting a fire within him to fight against the prevailing tyranny. The catalyst for this dramatic shift occurs when Patrick is wrongfully implicated in a terrorist attack at the refinery during his shift. Forced into the unforgiving hands of police Colonel Nic Vos, his life spirals further out of control when he attempts to shield himself with a false alibi, a move that only worsens his situation. The harrowing experience of jail, combined with the relentless intrusion of Vos into his life, pushes Patrick across a line he never imagined crossing. Compelled by his newfound determination, Patrick joins the African National Congress. He transitions from a man who once stood on the sidelines to a hero deeply embroiled in the struggle for freedom. Catch a Fire narrates this extraordinary transformation, painting a vivid picture of one man's resilience in the face of adversity, and his fight against an oppressive system that sought to stifle his spirit.
