剧情介绍
Have You Heard From Johannesburg is seven documentary stories, produced and directed by Connie Field, chronicling the history of the global anti-apartheid movement that took on South Africa’s entrenched apartheid regime and its international supporters who considered South Africa an ally in the Cold War.
南非主辦世界盃，是時候回顧這個國家走向自由民主的艱巨歷程。南非有過不光彩過去，為維護少數白人特權，曾經實施臭名昭著的種族隔離政策。但抗爭讓夢想成真，本片以七個鏗鏘有力的段落，從最初公民抗命，到曼德拉當選總統的歷史時刻，全面記錄南非民眾反特權、爭取廢除惡法的三十年路線圖。導演顯出了驚人的史詩氣魄，篇幅浩瀚，卻出奇的引人入勝。
This story traces the complex and fascinating drama of the anti-apartheid movement in one of South Africa's most important allies, the United States. The US is a key battleground, with African-Americans at the center of the struggle. The campaigns take place in boardrooms, universities, embassies, and finally in the US Congress itself, where a stunning victory is won against the formidable opposition of President Ronald Reagan. African-Americans, for the first time in history, have turned the tide and altered the direction of US foreign policy. The US, once the backbone of support for the apartheid regime as her ally in the Cold War, finally imposes sanctions on Pretoria. This is part five of a seven part series on the global anti-apartheid movements, stretching from 1946-1990.
看了最后两集，“the bottom line”和“freedom at last”，不是很习惯这种纪录片的叙述方式，但是观后深深感受到南非的种族隔离问题短时间内太难解决了，比美国的问题还要严重，希望一切都能向好的方向走
