Amandla! Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony

Being South African, I was drawn to this documentary. Through a chronological history of the South African liberation struggle, this documentary cites examples of the way that music was used in the fight for freedom.

I'm grateful to be a recipient of freedom and that I don't have to live under the conditions of apartheid any longer.



"I am the product of Africa and her long-cherished view of rebirth that can now be realised so that all of her children may play in the sun."
Nelson Mandela's final speech as president to the South African parliament, Cape Town 26 March 1999.
