Jock of the Bushveld
1986, English. Directed by Gray Hofmeyr.
From the best-seller that captivated millions of readers comes a motion picture as vast as Africa itself.
In 1886 the 20 years old Percy Fitzpatrick from Kaapstad sets out for the Delagoa bay in Transvaal to dig for gold. On his way he prevents the weakly puppy Jock being drowned and adopts him. But when they finally reach the destination of his journey, there's no gold there anymore. So Percy starts out as a foreman, and henceforth he and Jock live through many exciting adventures involving wild animals and slave drivers.
