Nadia Romanos chats to award-winning actor Jarrid Geduld, about his latest role in local action thriller ‘Indemnity’. 
The film, which had its overseas premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Canada last year and already released in the USA earlier this year, premiered in South Africa at the 10th annual kykNET Silwerskermfees, where the film received 12 nominations.  
‘Indemnity’ is the debut feature film for South African writer-director Travis Taute, who had worked on Netflix series 'Blood & Water'. 
The film is a paranoid conspiracy thriller that tells the story of Theo Abrahams (Jarrid Geduld), an ex-fireman suffering from severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) who, unable to return to work, turns to alcohol. Becoming increasingly frustrated and volatile, Theo’s world is rocked when his journalist wife Angela (Nicole Fortuin) is murdered – and he is the prime suspect. He soon finds himself on the run from the police for a murder he is positive he didn’t commit. But was he framed? Or did one of his violent nightmares cause him to do something he didn’t mean to do? 
Nadia spoke to Geduld about the film, what he learnt from working with firefighters and doing his own stunts; a mission he prepared for by spending three months training with stunt masters Vernon Willemse and Grant Powell (Fury Road, Tomb Raider).
 Indemnity is now showing in cinemas.
