South Africa, 1975: newspaper editor Donald Woods engages in his own, rather civilised struggle against the evil of apartheid. Then, accepting a challenge, he agrees to meet a remarkable man - Steve Biko.
Suddenly, the privileged Woods is given a flavour of the oppression and violence faced by the majority of his black countrymen, and a dangerous friendship is forged. For cast and conclusion see tomorrow at 11.50pm.
Director Richard Attenborough (1987, PG)
