Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFeature film debut for Daniel Craig (Sergeant Botha).
- GoofsWhen PK's character goes from 12 to 18 years old, the caption is "Johannesburg 1948". After the classroom scene and as PK and Morrie are walking past the fountain after the art lesson, Morrie says, "...as the Queen has for boules..." In 1948, George VI was the monarch. Elizabeth II, his daughter, did not ascend to the throne until 1952, four years later. However, the wife of a British King is known as the "Queen". Therefore, Morrie may have been referring to George VI's wife, Queen Elizabeth (later known as "The Queen Mother" after her daughter ascended to the throne).

Featured review
Good film - but read the book, the ending is very different - better all round really! Go on read the Power of One now, then read Tandia. It reaches into your heart and you can feel for PK. If they had made the film as the book i think it would shake some of the greats like - Colour Purple!!
