People of Heaven

In 1945, two soldiers meet on a train bound for Zululand on the way home to their families. The war in Europe is finally over, but in South Africa there are many more battles still to be fought. The seeds of apartheid are being sown in an angry nation and the fate of the Zulu people is precarious.

The soldiers on the train are already sworn enemies - one is black, the other white. Their sons, Michael King and Dyson Mpande, share a precious friendship that defies race and colour. But political greed, lust and a great evil between their families will test their friendship beyond imaginable limits.
