Exceptional Use of Song and how it Reflected The Struggle in South Africa, 1 February 2003
10/10
Author: houston_king from United States

Amandla! is one of the first documentaries about the fight against apartheid in South Africa. More importantly, it tells the story in a way that is inspirational, funny, factual and humanizes the struggle.

The film was the most decorated film at Sundance 2002, where it won the Audience Award for Documentaries and the Freedom of Expression Award.

I have seen it many times. Each time I try to hide the tears that well up in my eyes and control the pride I feel for knowing the people of South Africa. It is difficult to capture the warmth and dignity of the African people in the face of poverty and oppression but Amandla! succeeds.

Don't let your preconceptions of Africa last a day longer - go see this film and see the world is a little larger than you thought.
