Audition call for Nothing But The Truth
![Audition call for Nothing But The Truth](https://biz-file.com/c/1512/325404.jpg)
The story:
'Set in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Nothing But The Truth is an in-depth and subtle examination of family, sibling rivalry, truth, justice, forgiveness, reconciliation and the compassion of the human soul when it has been wronged. It mirrors how Sipho struggles to come to terms with the injustice he believes he has suffered at the hands of others; the loss of his wife, the death of his son and being passed over for a job'. (Review by Belinda Otas)
