The film is a well set drama about people struggling for their freedom in their own country, South Africa, based on a true story. As "Hotel Rwanda" and "Shooting Dogs" before, this one is a great peace of entertaining, while it won't leave you indifferent to what actually happened. It's emotional power is impressive, especially for every africanophile. Still, it remains a movie, relating some facts, but not the whole truth. The movie does certainly not use up all of its great potential. At the end, it turns to be a bit too hasty, and important events which would have enriched the story are left behind.
Eventually, I just hope this great film starring Tim Robbins and the excellent Derek Luke will general attention on problems in Africa, and not only those of the past.
