By day, Terence Opperman toils at a coal mine in Witbank. At night, he turns into “The Highlander” 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’ll have to beat his nemesis, Niekie Fourie – and to do that, he’ll have to give everything and more. Druk dit! offers an intimate glimpse into a subculture and the human urge to hold on – to hope, to identity and to one another.
