Filmed in 1981 on Freedom Day, this simple, yet effective, film shows the brave political resistance that lived deep within a frustrated, seemingly powerless community that is faced by insurmountable odds. Courageous liberation speakers incite a huge and crowded church to spiritual and moral defiance towards a common cause: “freedom in our lifetime”. Members of the congregation chant ANC mantras and songs, as emotional about their belief in the Struggle as they are about their belief in God. Meanwhile, in Durban, in a highly polished display of pomp and ceremony, the entire military might of Apartheid South Africa is being paraded for all to see. As the speakers become more passionate, honest representations of the violent reality behind the military force are revealed in photographic images of repression through force and fear, of setting dogs onto children and dispersing peaceful congregations with tear gas.
