Patrick is an oil refinery employee and soccer player ...( read more  )who is apolitical--until he and his wife are brutalized by government-sanctioned terror squads. Shocked into action, Patrick reorients his sense of self and purpose.

  "This weekend, you can watch a great movie and know that proceeds will go to support Amnesty's critical human rights work.
  
  This Friday, Focus Features in collaboration with Amnesty International will release "Catch a Fire". "Catch a Fire" is a political thriller based on the true story of Patrick Chamusso, an ordinary man forced to resort to terror in extraordinary circumstances. It is the story of one man's struggle amongst a nation's, set in a divided South Africa in the nineteen eighties, climaxing in the present day."
