Generational conflict over the most effective means for ending Apartheid in South Africa leads to an explosive confrontation between a gifted but impatient Black township youth and his devoted but Black teacher in this deeply felt and richly imagined drama. The unexpected involvement of a young white woman who befriends and learns from both men strips away the political trappings to reveal the human trauma at the heart of South Africa's tragedy.
