## WATCH THIS NETFLIX FILM 

### Silverton Siege 

  

 

This new film lands on Netflix today. *Silverton Siege* is based on a true story about a bank held hostage after an anti-apartheid strike went wrong. During a high-profile mission to sabotage a petrol depot, a trio of freedom fighters realise they have been set up, with police ready and waiting to arrest them. A fierce chase ensues and they end up seeking shelter inside a bank. When they get there, they’re in agreement that someone, perhaps one of them, is an ‘impimpi’ – a police spy. The question is, who? Tension rises further when they decide to negotiate for the release of Nelson Mandela.
