At night, he turns into \u201cThe Highlander\u201d who gives his opponents hell at the arm-wrestling table. He knows the sweet taste of victory, but also the sharp bite of defeat. In arm-wrestling, he finds a release valve. At the table, he can take the enormous pressure on his shoulders and channel it straight through his opponent. But if he wants to become the world arm-wrestling champion at last, he\u2019ll have to beat his nemesis, Niekie Fourie \u2013 and to do that, he\u2019ll have to give everything and more. Druk dit! offers an intimate glimpse into a subculture and the human urge to hold on \u2013 to hope, to identity and to one another.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Producer:<\/strong> Juandr\u00e8 de Jager, Lara Lourens<br\/><strong>Production Company:<\/strong> The Third Law<br\/><strong>Director:<\/strong> Juandr\u00e8 de Jager, Lara Lourens<br\/><strong>Writer:<\/strong> Juandr\u00e8 de Jager, Lara Lourens<br\/><strong>Editor:<\/strong> Anlerie Cilliers<br\/><strong>Cinematographer:<\/strong> Philip van Zyl<br\/><strong>Soundtrack\/Original Score:<\/strong> Wesley West<br\/><br\/>The <strong>kykNET Silwerskerm Festival <\/strong>is a prestigious and proudly South African and Afrikaans film festival that has supported, empowered, and developed the local film industry for more than a decade.
