The award-winning feature documentary, The Cradock Four, has been selected for official competition in the Long Films section of the Luxor African Film Festival (LAFF), to be held in the historical city of Luxor, in Egypt, from 21 to 28 February.

The Cradock Four was made independently by South African filmmaker David Forbes over seven years and won Best South African Documentary at the Durban International Film Festival (2010) and was shortlisted for the Amnesty International (Durban) Human Rights Award at the same festival.

Last year The Cradock Four was invited to the Aljazeera International Documentary Film Festival in Doha, Qatar, and a number of minor festivals.

It is being distributed internationally by Forbes's media company, Shadow Films.
