Assignment is a South African political thriller, produced and written by László Bene and Sandi Schultz.
Kathleen Jacobs, a renowned conflict journalist returns home after a near fatal-incident cutting short her assignment in the Congo.
When Kat pitches the story to her editor, he turns her down - a strange decision for a man always on a quest for a headline.
Kathleen, however, is determined to break the story; a decision that pits her against major political forces.
When she refuses to back off despite numerous "incidents", Kat suddenly finds herself on the run, aided only by two ex's; her ex-husband and an ex-military consultant.
