Ellen
(starring Jill Levenberg) and her teenage son, Abie (starring Jarrid Geduld),
have been living together with Odneal (starring Elton Landrew) for years in
Lavender Hill Cape Town. Abie gets constantly terrorised for being born out of
wedlock, and he gets expelled from school. He becomes addicted to tik and cleans out his parents’ belongings
to feed his addiction. Later, Abie is banished to the back yard and Ellen goes
to find help for her son. After every government service fails to help her, a
distraught and frustrated Ellen takes matters into her own hands, leaving the Pakkies
family with devastating consequences.
‘Die Ellen Pakkies Storie’ is directed by
Daryne Joshua, and is based on the real-life story of Ellen Pakkies. The story
shows the brutal but true realities of a family on the Cape Flats affected by
drug abuse, and also shows the brave stance of a woman who takes charge against domestic and
gender-based violence.
