CRY FREEDOM
(1987)
Beautifully directed by Richard Attenborough, 'Cry Freedom' is a biopic about the life of courageous, determined South African journalist Donald Woods.
Woods investigates the death of friend and legendary anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko - and pays the price, ending up having to flee his home country.
Denzel Washington was Oscar-nominated for his role as Biko, but a fine cast included Kevin Kline as Woods, Penelope Wilton, Alec McCowen, and Kevin McNally. Stunning Oscar-nominated music from George Fenton and Jonas Gwangwa.
