Amendla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony is a documentary about the role of music in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. I have heard Vukani Muwethu sing many of the important songs of this period. They are powerful. They are inspiring. They are truly revolutionary. The movie is a bit muddy. It is very sincere, but it should have been cut more crisply. There are some wonderful images. Nelson Mandela dancing will make you believe. The power of the music rarely came across, though.- J
Image is reduced resolution version from the film's promotional material, and as such, I believe, constitutes a fair use.
