Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony
South African musicians, playwrights, poets and activists recall the struggle against apartheid from the 1940s to the 1990s that stripped black South Africans of basic human rights, and the important role that music played in that struggle (“amandia” is the Nguni word for “power”). The documentary uses a mixture of interviews, musical performances and historical film footage. Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim, Hugh Masekela and Vusi Mahlasela are among the South Africans who take part.
