Whoopi Goldberg stars in this musical take on the South African struggles against Apartheid in the mid-1970s, during the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. An adaptation of Mbongeni Ngema's popular musical, which ran on Broadway from 1988 to 1989, Sarafina! recounts the political coming of age of the title character, a high school girl involved in the Soweto student protests of 1976. At first just a petulant bundle of energy, more interested in boys than civil rights, Sarafina (Leleti Khumalo)
PG-13, 1 hr. 38 min.

A rather bloody musical that captures the horror that was apartheid.
Brilliant!

Wow wow wow! That's all I have to say about Sarafina. Everytime I watch this, I'm alerted of the trials Africa's people went through & go through every single day & I cry everytime I watch the moving movie. Watch Sarafina!
