    Great film version of a great play

    This film version of South African playwright Athol Fugard's play is, like the original, quite powerful and moving. It has much to say about institutional racism and apartheid how it effected everyday normal people in South Africa of the early 1950's on both sides of the color divide. Freddie Highmore, Ving Rhames, and Patrick Mofokeng all give superb performances.
