A Small Town Called Descent (2010) is the second (considered as his "stylish debut feature" by many festivals and Film Critics, because he is alone as director) from talented South African director Jahmil XT Qubeka. The film follows three Scorpion agents in their investigation of xenophobic attacks that took place in a small town.
