Hate and forgiveness in South Africa

06/26/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The movie is set in South Africa during the last days of apartheid in the early 1990s.The story revolves around a young, white man who has been indoctrinated to be a racist. His racism is as virulent as you can imagine. His racism is extremely violent and all encompassing. But the young man slowly changes and sees the error of his ways. He is changed by the love of a woman and by the guidance of a priest.The violence perpetrated at random to blacks is graphically shown. However, it is not gratuitous. It makes you feel the incredible hardships endured by the black South Africaners.This movie provides hope that the most difficult human problems can be solved."

Hope for Mankind

"This film shows that true change is not political but spiritual. The hope for the future of mankind is not his design but through spiritual reconciliation. There is a reason that the United Nations asked to premier this film at the World Economic Summit in November 2002."

Beautiful film

"This was a wonderful movie about the change God can make in the worse racist's heart. Very well filmed, brilliantly written. By the way, the movie is rated R for violence, there is no swearing or nudity or blasphemy.If you can get your hands on "to end all wars", do so, it's another similiar themed movie that is worthy of a look. It stars keifer sutherland and robert carlyle."

""A gripping tale, based on a true story, of a white supremacist whose incredible transformation from hatred to love is set in Apartheid, South Africa.

The indoctrination of Gerrit Wolfaardt (Jan Ellis) is complete. His family traditions, history, culture, and even his church taught him that Blacks are a cancer needing to be removed. Gaining the attention of prominent people in government and the military, he develops a diabolical plan to rid South Africa of the "black danger".

Celeste (Leizel van der Merwe), who later becomes Gerrit's wife, and Pastor Lekota (Tony Award Winner, John Kani), cause Gerrit to question and turn from the racist views of his past; However, his past is about to collide with his future. Following his transformation, he is confronted by Moses Moremi (Mpho Lovinga) whom he had beaten violently years earlier.

An award winning drama capturing the horror of South African apartheid, but also the wonder of a transformed heart. It is a memorable film about the power of forgiveness and reconciliation."
