In Cinemas, July 24 – “ANGELS: THEY ARE AMONGST US

INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED FILM, “ANGELS: THEY ARE AMONGST US”, SET FOR SOUTH AFRICAN THEATRICAL RELEASE ON JULY 24, 2026

Studio RSA Films is proud to announce the theatrical release of the highly anticipated, internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning feature film, ANGELS: THEY ARE AMONGST US. Slated to hit the big screen on July 24, 2026.

The film will be distributed locally mainly by Ster-Kinekor in South Africa and Namibia, before expanding into other countries following its home country release.

A GRIPPING TALE OF REDEMPTION AND THE SUPERNATURAL
At its core, ANGELS: THEY ARE AMONGST US is an inspirational drama that masterfully weaves together the spiritual and natural worlds. The story follows Paul Taylor, a man who loses everything and takes a teaching post at a reform school in a desperate bid to understand the criminal minds of children. It is there, amid hardship and brokenness, that Paul is confronted by the breathtaking, supernatural reality of ministering angels. He is forced to face universal human challenges, the desire to belong, the pain of loss, romance, and the search for purpose, while answering the ultimate dramatic question: Are God and His Angels real? To survive and find his true path, Paul must decide whether to walk with the power of God.

AN ALL-STAR SOUTH AFRICAN CAST

The film boasts an elite ensemble of acclaimed South African talent. Leading the cast is Keenan Arrison, who delivers a powerful, transformative performance as Paul Taylor. He is joined by screen legends Sello Maake Ka-Ncube and Brümilda van Rensburg, alongside exceptional performances by Ofentse Rakololo, Schelaine Bennett, Elsje Slabbert, Byron McNeil, and Jack Devnarain. The film also introduces newcomers Wheaton Dyers, Dion Mhlongo, Ande Dlungwane, Victor Hato, and Sihle Chiliza. The depth of the cast brings a visceral authenticity to a narrative that tackles profound themes of loss, faith, and restoration.

A VISION 21 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Written, directed, and produced by visionary filmmaker Robert Benjamin, ANGELS: THEY ARE AMONGST US is a deeply personal project. Robert describes the film as a calling, born from a series of spiritual encounters that began in 2003 with a profound question: “Are you prepared to lose everything for my name’s sake?” Spanning a 21-year journey of testing, personal sacrifice, and eventual triumph, Robert’s unwavering commitment to the project shines through in every frame.

“To see a project that took two decades to bring to life finally reach audiences across the continent is beyond humbling,” says Benjamin. “It proves that independent filmmakers can retain their creative voice, maintain ownership of their IP, and still achieve massive, unprecedented theatrical distribution.”

The film is co-produced by Desiree Christians, who also co-developed the story. Under their leadership at Studio RSA Films, the production prioritized high-quality storytelling designed to resonate with a global audience.

GLOBAL ACCLAIM AND AWARDS

Before its South African theatrical debut, ANGELS: THEY ARE AMONGST US has already garnered significant international critical acclaim. Its festival run includes taking home “Best Feature Film”, “Best Director” and “Best Actor” at the Halo International Film Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia, and “Best Spiritual/Mystical Film” at the Remember The Future Film Festival in Cannes, France. With additional nominations for “Best Inspirational Film” in the United States and “Best Cinematography” in the UK, the feature has firmly established its universal appeal.
