If you haven't done so (and can find it), watch "Cry Freedom", the Hollywood version of Biko's last couple of months and how the story escaped, literally, from Apartheid SA.
I first watched it with two white SA friends living in exile in Ireland, the hands of one of my friends were bleeding when we left the movie theatre, he had been clenching bis fists, digging his nails into his palms.

Thank you for this, am. It is heartbreaking and important to remember Biko. Yes.
ReplyDeleteThe Gabriel video. You beat me to it. I just shared that on Facebook and thought I'd use it in my next blog post.
