Event overview
Amandla is a Zulu and Xhosa word meaning "power". Through a chronological history of the South African liberation struggle, Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony depicts the struggles of black South Africans against the injustices of Apartheid through the use of music.
Written and directed by Lee Hirsch, the documentary uses a mixture of interviews, musical performances and historical film footage. Among the South Africans who take part are Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim, Hugh Masekela, Vusi Mahlasela and others.
The freedom songs heard in the film have an important historical context. They united those who were being oppressed and gave those fighting a way to express their plight. The music consoled those incarcerated, and created an effective underground form of communication inside the prisons.
