Long listed for a prize at Cannes Film Festival, the movie 'The Wound or Inxeba' caused a huge stir back home in South Africa. The film makers were threatened on social media and the Censorship Board classified it as pornography. Nakhane Toure is one of the main actors and John Trengrove is the director: they discuss what they think is behind the heated reactions. (Photo: Actor Nakhane Toure and Director John Trengrove.
