World Premiere at the 2021 Fantasia Film Festival. An ex-firefighter in Cape Town is forced to fight for his life after being accused of murdering his wife.

“intricate, politically motivated chess game… you could almost see Indemnity becoming the start of a South African Mission: Impossible or Bourne franchise”
