Blood and Glory (Afrikaans: Modder en Bloed) is a feature film that was released to cinema in April 2016 in South Africa. The film, set in 1901, at the end of the Second Boer War, is a period drama that follows Willem Morkel, a Cape rebel (a Boer or Afrikaner) farmer who was captured and sent to a British prisoner of war camp on the Island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. Though suffering under great oppression and hardship, Morkel and his comrades slowly come together to assert their defiance, humanity, and human spirit, especially through the game of rugby.
