Directed by Jon Day / 2023 / South Africa / 90 minutes

“ZEF – The Story of Die Antwoord” is as provocative as its subjects: a surprising, bizarre, and masterfully edited documentary. Like the numerous music videos it includes, the film is an exploration of contrasts that sometimes seem difficult to reconcile—loud and quiet, beautiful and ugly, rich and poor, success and failure.
