Uma uMesiya noma uMsindisi ependiwe ngombala omhlophe, kungani kungenakudwetshwa eMnyama? UMesiya noma umsindisi opendwe ngombala omhlophe ukuhlasela okungokomoya kakhulu "Kungokuhlanza ingokomoya lethu nengqondo yethu ukuthi abamhlophe basilethele uMesiya nomsindisi omhlophe" Format:DVD This is an excellent and important film about fighting the despicable prejudice of the apartheid regime in South Africa. At the time it was made there was a little bit of criticism that Attenborough had chosen to focus on the white character, Donald Woods, rather than the black character Steve Biko. This was missplaced. His film is about the need for liberal-minded people to ask themselves whether they are doing enough to combat tyranny. It traces the personal journey of Woods from the position of priviliged liberal to a more advanced and outspoken oppositon to the South African government. Besides, it would be untrue to claim that the black characters are not fully developed here. We get a clear sense of where Biko is coming from and why his struggle was so important. Obviously the film is a militant film, but what's wrong with that, when what you're militating against is something so blatantly unjust as apartheid? The film is well-made, well-written and a moving experience. You also get a glimpse of the physical beauty of that part of the world, even though the film was actually shot in Zimbabwe.
