Cry Freedom

Cry Freedom (1987)

Information at Internet Movie Database
Roger Ebert Review, Chicago Sun-Times
Themes
- Justice
  - The film as a whole relates Donald Woods' determination to fight apartheid and thus being finally forced to flee South Africa. One scene (at the beach) has an argument between Woods and his wife, illustrating that standing up for justice is not easy, and there is pressure to conform and give in. The final scene is a strong dramatised example of injustice, with white police killing peacefully protesting blacks. Peter Kirkpatrick, Auckland, NZ)
