Expelled is an award-winning drama comedy that unfolds over an explosive week in a privileged South African family.
Lou and Rich have staked everything on their son Alex: he has a place at an elite boys' school, is popular, and is on the first rugby team. His status seems untouchable until a reckless moment with the wrong friends is caught on camera and goes viral.
Overnight, reputations shatter, secrets erupt, and the family fractures. Teenage impulsiveness spirals into betrayal, social media chaos, and wrenching choices where career, status, and business deals outweigh parental loyalty.
With razor-sharp dialogue, punchy scenes, and innovative multimedia projections, Expelled delivers a fast, easy-to-stage takedown of toxic masculinity and entitlement in elite schools. It explores the terror of a viral moment and the desperate drive to protect the perfect image.
Darkly funny one minute, heartbreaking the next, it's a story that every teenager, parent, and teacher will recognize.
