Cry Freedom (1987)
A must-watch ahead of Freedom Day on 27 April, the triple-Oscar-nominated 1987 classic Cry Freedom tells the true story of South African journalist Donald Woods’s efforts to investigate the death in custody of his friend, activist Steve Biko.
Written and directed by the multiple-Oscar-winning team behind Gandhi (late director Richard Attenborough and writer John Briley), and based on the writings of Donald Woods himself, Cry Freedom stars Oscar winners Kevin Kline and Denzel Washington, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Biko.
Cry Freedom also garnered Oscar nominations for Best Score and Best Original Song for George Fenton and Jonas Gwangwa.
