Reviews
Tells about the political awakenings in 1976 to apartheid in South Africa.
...a powerful examination of the effects of Apartheid on a privileged white man.
Depicts one Afrikaner's journey toward moral responsibility in South Africa.
A heavy-handed but effective condemnation of Apartheid justice. Brando, who worked for free on this one, is great as an opposition lawyer.
