Exemplary true story, outworn moviemaking style but a MUST see

"My blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom. Tell my people that I love them and continue fighting. A Luta Continua! " - Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu He was only 20 and innocent at the time he was executed by hanging under the common purpose doctrine. Based on a powerful true story about a MK martyr. MK- Umkhonto wesizwe was an armed wing of ANC, African National Congress cofounder by Nelson Mandela. It used different tactics to challenge white minority government and white supremacy and aggressive approach to fight for freedom and equality that can be viewed as a parallel to INA by S Bose with a one minor difference that INA was not a part of INC. An exemplary story but movie falls little short due to a somewhat outworn movie making style. However, it is still a MUST see film about the brutality of the Apartheid government and South Africa's freedom struggle. Under the common purpose doctrine, the apartheid government executed nearly 3000 people in just 10 years between 1979-1989.
