The struggle is inherited. The New Dawn Store is the battlefield for this blistering political drama, set entirely in the cramped stockroom and brightly-lit cashier aisle of a South African supermarket.
Revolution, a fiery political activist, rallies his broken comrades for a minimum wage strike. But when his best friend, Zwelethu, discovers a crushing personal betrayal—concerning his girlfriend, a pregnancy, and Revolution's dark secret—the political revolution implodes.
A devastating exploration of exploitation, guilt, and the price of a life in the 'New Dawn' era, culminating in a fatal confrontation that asks: Is the personal always political?
