REVIEW: In 1985, South Africa burns as the vile Apartheid regime crumbles. In the months leading up to this historic moment, a group of man hold secret talks to bring peace and democracy to the nation.
Under constant threat and fearful for their lives, a gathering of ANC “terrorists” led by future president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, and key Afrikaner representatives meet in a manor in south-east England.
Against all odds, through volatile discussions, setbacks and breakthroughs, the secret talks in Britain achieve a precious arena of frail trust between the two archenemies. While Mandela’s tense negotiations at Pollsmoor Prison and later in the heavily bugged warden’s villa at Victor Verster Prison prove fruitful, the courage of the unsung heroes at the crucial British talks begin to show results.
But will they live to see the peace they are striving so hard for? In the climate of the “war on terror” we all now live in, this inspiring film based on Robert Harvey’s acclaimed book “The Fall Of Apartheid” has never had more relevance.
