Purpose - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0257019/
While entertaining in its own right, it's interesting because (some people say) the movie somewhat chronicles the history of the Internet Solution (http://www.is.co.za), the South African internet service provider co-founded by Ronnie Apteker and eventually bought by Dimension Data. Ronnie wrote the script for Purpose. He's up there with Elon Musk and Mark Shuttleworth in terms of his impact on the South African tech scene.
