Danny Glover stars as a black police officer in the waning days of apartheid. Though dedicated to his job, Glover has mixed feelings concerning his loyalty to the white status quo.

Inteligente e sens�vel, Bopha traz uma performance marcante de Glover e � dirigido com seguran�a por Morgan Freeman - que deveria trabalhar mais atr�s das c�meras.
