After mistakenly killing the relative of London’s biggest crime lord, mediocre hitman and ex-pat Tommy Ward (Josh Duhamel) is forced to go on the run and take refuge in Los Angeles. In order to get back to his son, Tommy makes a deal with his new employer Benson (Rick Hoffman): teach his socially awkward son Julian (Jeremy Ray Taylor) how to become a man in exchange for safe passage back to the UK. Now, Tommy is forced to drag Julian along on his latest contract killing of a renowned assassin. What starts off as a simple ride-along soon descends into utter mayhem as Tommy and Julian must find a way to survive the night so that Tommy can get back to his son and Julian can win the approval of his father.

And She Didn’t Die is an intimate and powerful documentary chronicling the extraordinary life of Lauretta Ngcobo — a rural South African storyteller turned revolutionary courier, political exile, and celebrated feminist writer. Directed by her daughter, Kethiwe Ngcobo, the film masterfully weaves together a rich tapestry of family archives, historical footage, dramatic re-enactments, contemporary interviews, and evocative readings from Lauretta’s books.

The narrative follows Lauretta’s remarkable journey — from serving as a courier for the banned Pan African Congress, to her perilous escape through Swaziland and Zambia, and ultimately to her exile in the UK. There, she found her voice as a writer, using storytelling as an act of resistance, resilience, and remembrance, while raising her children alone.

As Kethiwe retraces her mother’s path, her own story becomes intertwined with Lauretta’s, revealing a deeply personal exploration of identity, heritage, and the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter. The film’s non-linear structure mirrors memory’s fragmented nature, creating a layered, reflective portrait of political struggle and feminist awakening.

And She Didn’t Die is both a preservation of Lauretta Ngcobo’s political and literary legacy and a celebration of the enduring power of storytelling to inspire, challenge, and defy.
