Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony: 1hr42mins
Director: Lee Hirsch
Lee Hirsch spent nine years putting together the ambitious documentary
Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony. The film records the history of
music being used as a form of social protest against Apartheid in South
Africa. Interviews and archival footage help to tell the tales of figures
like Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim, and Vuyisile Mini.
Mini's songs became such a powerful social force that his remains were
exhumed and reburied in order to show proper respect after the end of
Apartheid. This look at political oppression and the courage required to
fight it was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
Cheers!
