13.03.2010 | "Cry Freedom" - a new movie devoted to human rights problems
On March 13th a Global UGRAD alumna Anna Malinovskaya continued the series of video viewing devoted to human rights. This time it was a 1987 British feature film directed by Richard Attenborough, set in the late 1970s, during the apartheid era of South Africa. Donald Woods is the chief editor at the liberal newspaper Daily Dispatch in South Africa. He has written several editorials critical of the views of Steve Biko. But after having met him for the first time, he changes his views. They meet several times, and this means that Woods and his family get attention from the security police. When Steve Biko dies in police custody, he writes a book about Biko. The only way to get it published is for Woods himself to illegally escape the country. Two coordinators of the film Mariana Sidorenko and Vlasenko Ekaterina held the event. Students of different universities were present at this event. The viewing was followed by a hot discussion. |
