Synopsis by Steven Yoder
Co-writer/director Angus Gibson presents Back of the Moon. The year is 1958, and on the night his home is to be demolished by the police, gang leader Badman (Richard Lukunku) decides he would rather die than move. That is, until the beautiful torch singer that he has had his eye on, Eve Msomi (Moneoa Moshesh), comes into his life. Now, on what would have been the last day of his life, Badman finds something worth living for and faces perils beyond that of losing his home.
