Johnny is nie dood nie - the film (2016)
Based on the Malan Steyn play, the script was written by Christiaan Olwagen, who also directed the film. Largely rewritten, the film uses flashbacks and voiceovers to recreate the rise of the Voëlvry movement and the rebellion of young Afrikaans students in the buildup to the fall of the National Party and share the friends' confusion of being young and finding their places in the world.
The film featured Rolanda Marais, Albert Pretorius, Ilana Cilliers, Ludwig Binge, Roelof Storm, Charl-Johan Lingenfelder, Martelize Kolver, Roeline Daneel, Mariechen Vosloo, Nini Conradie, Mari Conradi (billed as Marie Conradie), Peach Cronje, De Klerk Oelofse, Cintaine Schutte and Beer Adriaanse.
Produced by Herman Binge, with Elmarie Botha as line producer, Saartjie Botha as creative producer, and Jan du Plessis, Ricky Human, Karen Meiring and Anneke Villet as executive producers.
Director of photography: Chris Vermaak, film editing by Ronelle Loots, production design by Birrie le Roux
