Dangerous Ground (1997)

Plot: Vusi Madlazi returns to the South African village he left as a young boy (he was organizing against apartheid, and left in fear of his life) to bury his father. He meets up with his brother Ernest, who tells him their other brother Stephen couldn't be contacted. Vusi goes to Johannesburg to find him, but at first can only find his neighbor/girlfriend, Karin, a stripper. Vusi proceeds to learn how conditions have changed since the end of apartheid, not always for the better for black men.

Alternative Plot: Thirteen years after his anti-apartheid activism forced him to leave South Africa, Vusi Madlazi (Ice Cube) returns home for his father's funeral. There, he finds his youngest brother, Ernest (Sechaba Morajele), embittered, while middle child Steven (Eric Miyeni) has been selling cocaine for local kingpin Muki (Ving Rhames). After learning Steven has racked up a large debt to his boss, Vusi teams up with his brother's girlfriend, Karin (Elizabeth Hurley), to save Steven before Muki can hurt him.
