WHITE DEVILS is the first-ever feature film film adaptation of "Diepe Grond," the seminal work of Reza de Wet, South Africa's most celebrated female author and playwright. Though, sadly, she passed away 2012, she left behind a legacy of leading a literary war against Apartheid during the height of that country's censorship and oppression.

Reza de Wet is the author of "Diepe Grond" ("White Devils"). Born Elizabeth Frederica de Wet in Senekal, a rural town in the eastern Free State, South Africa, Reza de Wet was a prolific and socially conscious author and playwright who wrote in both English and Afrikaans.

Reza attended the University of Orange Free State, earned a post graduate performers' diploma in acting at the University of Cape Town's Drama Department, completed a BA Honours in English literature at the University of Cape Town, completed her formal studies with an MA in English Literature from the University of the South, and lectured in the drama department of The University of South Africa.

She won more literary and theatre awards than any other South African, including the prestigious Herzog Prize for Drama, the highest honor in Afrikaans literature. She won five Vita Awards, three Fleur du Cap Awards, a Dalro Award, a CNA prize, and a Rapport Prize. Her plays have been performed all over the world, including productions in London's reknowned West End. She was the only female dramatist represented in London's Open Space Theatre anthology of African plays.
