Witblits & Peach Brandy

Comedy

Synopsis

The story takes place in the Lowveld and is about the illegal burning and marketing of the sacred moisture, popularly known as Withond. A drinking war breaks out between two grumpy old men - A farmer against an Englishman. Uncle Koos and his daughter, Sopie, make a good profit from the sale of their white blitz, which they secretly heat in the valley and sell to the local hotelier. But one day Solly refuses to buy their stock. He has a new supplier, and this peach brandy is just as delicious as Oom Koos' white blitz - just cheaper. Oom Koos is shocked and it turns into a drinking competition to see whose moisture is the best. Very soon, Oom Koos and the Colonel are together, and Sopie and Peter, the Colonel's son, have to cheer each other up just before their father and get the local sergeant sniffed.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
