Knuckle City is a 2019 South African crime sports film written and directed by Jahmil X.T.

[2] It was selected as the South African entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards, but was ultimately not nominated.

Spreading like a virus, the sins that the brothers’ inherited from their father are part of a greater systemic problem impacting the township of Mdantsane.

Unflinchingly gritty, Knuckle City brings a fresh South African take on traditional genre tropes.

Engulfed in beautiful cinematography that is both sweeping and intimate, Qubeka shows that actions to uplift family, and not endanger them, is what real manhood is all about.
