Wiki.

Jump the Gun is a 1996 South African film directed by Les Blair for Channel Four Films. The film follows six diverse, working class individuals as they try and establish themselves in the newly democratic South Africa. Les Blair's quintessentially British Kitchen sink realism is applied to a South African context. The film stars Baby Cele, Lionel Newton, and Michele Burgers amongst others. Characters were built from the ground up with South African actors by using improvisation.

The film won the Chicago International Film Festival award in 1997 for best film.
