Goofs:
Anachronisms: After Maria's funeral, PK is seen riding his bicycle into Alexandra. In the background are four cooling towers for a nuclear power plant. This part of the film is set in the early 1950s, and South Africa's first nuclear power plant didn't go online until 1984. In fact, the first nuclear power plant to produce electricity wasn't built until 1954 in the Soviet Union.

I watched this film several years ago and it brought back many memories of my life in South Africa. While living there I saw many things that were portrayed in the film so can relate to it. I thought all the actors were very good and but Morgan Freeman's role was truly exceptional and should have won him an Oscar for his portrayal. The accents were very much true to life even though the main characters were not South African. I found the story line very thought provoking and the music was so good I went out and bought the CD. I think it's about time they showed this film on TV as many things can be learnt from this. I feel this film is on a Parr with another South African film called Serafina which dealt with the riots in Soweto.
