The 2016 film Action Kommandant that tells the story of South African freedom fighter, Ashley Kriel is finally available on Showmax.
Ashley Kriel grew up in a working class family on the Cape Flats and came to be recognized as the icon of South Africa's 1980's youth resistance.

Nadine Cloete who directed the film said that the making of the film 'has been a life changing journey' when she announced the Showmax release on the Official Action Kommandant Facebook Page.
"Not a week has gone by since the release of the Action Kommandant in 2016 that someone has not contacted me to ask about where they can access the film.
It continues to be a huge privilege for me to be so intimately involved with the telling of the story of Ashley Kriel. It has been a life changing journey."
