The tension and terror that is present-day South Africa is powerfully portrayed in director Richard Attenborough's sweeping story of black activist Stephen Biko (Denzel Washington) and a liberal white newspaper editor who risks his own life to bring Biko's message to the world. After learning of apartheid's true horrors through Biko's eyes, editor Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) discovers that his friend has been silenced by the police. Determined not to let Biko's message go unheard, Woods undertakes a perilous quest to escape South Africa and bring Biko's remarkable tale of courage to the world. The riveting, true story offers a stirring account of man at his most evil and most heroic.

"The most potent weapon into the hands of the oppressor is the MINDS of the oppressed" - STEVE BIKO.

​@@eaglesfan226No he wasn't! He was your Biko. Ghandi was a racist.

[@davidswartzafrica]

Did Steve die for this ? Watching his funeral and remembering his sacrifices I am torn between great sadness and disappointment because men of honour died for this country and today the remnants kill the country that Comrade Steve died for. So the struggle continues as the face of the enemy is no more the white supremacy but the greed of our own people who lead us . For this reason we have to continue fighting. Not for colour but for dignity and honor of those who fell and had a dream of a country we have not yet seen but believe it is in reach . The dirt is now in our own house and it’s time to clean up. April 2024 is the year of cleaning up. 👊 South Africa 🇿🇦

[@philipgideonagene1619]

Steve BIKO, a true son of Africa. Your sacrifice and stand for justice is an eternal part of African struggle.. For STEVE BIKO, I WEEP.

Steve Biko, the answer to the Mandela Effect

[@royzero1485]

Interesting how so many people "vividly remember seeing Mandela's funeral procession in the late 80s," and this movie is from '87.

[@mommyshark1124]

​@royzero1485 Mandela was freed from prison in 1990. He died in the 2000s. He was in prison in the 80s

[@sepulchaly]

Épica pelicula de una cruda realidad vivida en Sudafrica, excelente dirección y producción de Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) que descanse en paz este otro gran humanista que atravez de sus peliculas denunció muchas injusticias y dió a conocer a personas como Steve Biko que lucharon por los derechos muchos seres humanos de su país y fuera asesinado por su propio gobierno.

[@lynnchipili5456]

Respect to you South Africans without your fighting spirit you would have lost these country forever. Viva and respect to you Steven Biko. Your neighbours have chosen to run away from their country and be arrogant immigrants wherever they have gone Amandla.

[@ntobekongobese7268]

"You're either alive and proud or you're dead, but your method of death can itself be a politicizing thing" so I said to them "listen if you wanna do this your own way YOU may have to handcuff me so ican't respond but I'm afraid you may have to kill me even if it's not your intention" STEVE BIKO the Man of Power💔❤🙏

[@sugerlipsxjamiewright4170]

I choose too look at how one lives their life rather than how they died for I believe it's a transition too a greater plane in many ways .
