The screening of award-winning director Frank Orji’s latest short film “The Wrong Girl” produced in conjunction with AACA Film & Acting School, will take place in Rosebank, South Africa in the month of April.
‘The Wrong Girl’ is about an undercover Hawks agent named Fhatuwani who gets herself kidnapped by three amateur thugs – Moses, Dawg, and Chekers – to infiltrate and take down a vicious human trafficking operation masterminded by Goty.
The twists and turns are what make the story intriguing. As if that was not enough, throughout the short film, Goty is unaware of the truth her supposed mother is hiding.
