Strong female cast in local movie, Dora's Peace
The new crime drama Dora’s Peace, that will be released in cinemas on the 26th of August, features a strong female cast in roles that highlight the complex circumstances that women experience.
The film is about a Hillbrow prostitute who decides to protect a gifted young boy from the violent clutches of organised crime and discovers aspects of her own lost humanity in the process.
Directed by Konstandino Kalarytis, Dora’s Peace was shot in Johannesburg and stars Khabonina Qubeka in the title role.
Dora is smart and tough, and used to beating the odds by doing things her way, but she also has a good heart.
She’s seen it all and done it all. Into her solitary existence comes 12-year old Peace, a talented artist and the son of her down and out neighbour. Before long Dora will be forced to make a decision – protect Peace from the bad guys or let them win.
