Following the box office hit WHITE WEDDING, Jann Turner returns with PARADISE STOP. Near the freeway outside a sleepy town is Ben Khumalo's Truck Stop complete with bar, restaurant, and ladies of the night. Ben's friend, Potso is a good cop in a rotten system. This is the tale of two big men in a small town, the best of friends but working on opposite sides of the law. A madcap comedy-thriller of errors, PARADISE STOP has a captivating humour and is an acute but loving look into the vibrant ups and downs of life in current day South Africa.
