First seen in 1987 at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg, the spectacular black musical Sarafina transferred to Broadway and was immediately a smash hit. This stirring documentary intersperses excerpts from the New York production with the stark comments of the young South African cast about their troubled homeland. They talk of the sorrow of apartheid, but also of their hopes for the future of a country they love. The film closes with its most touching sequence: an emotional meeting with the great, exiled South African singer, Miriam Makeba.
