South African Film Wounding the Pride and Prejudice of Xhosa Men?

The film Inxeba - The Wound has been at the receiving end of a backlash for its depiction of the traditional sacred ritual of a Xhosa tradition into manhood - as well as sexual identity in the form of a gay love story. Traditional leaders want the movie banned, saying there are limits to the extent customs can be exposed.
