Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony
2002, 108 minutes
Interviews, archival footage, and filmed performances highlight the role of music in the South African struggle against apartheid.
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. Songs united those who were being oppressed and gave those fighting a way to express their plight. The music consoled those incarcerated, and created an effective underground form of communication inside the prisons.
