Event Description :  South Africa Embassy presents 'Sarafina' Film Club Screening as part of BRICS Film Festival.

Sarafina! is an emotionally and politically impassioned story that registers the anti-apartheid movement's anger and hope in an infectious musical context and refutes revenge, violence and murder as a solution. The plot centers on students involved in the Soweto Riots, in opposition to the implementation of Afrikaans as the language of instruction in schools. The character Sarafina feels shame at her mother's acceptance of her role as domestic servant in a white household in apartheid South Africa, and inspires her peers to rise up in protest, especially after her inspirational teacher, Mary Masombuka is imprisoned.

Language : English
