Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter seeing this film Nelson Mandela called it, "a beautiful and important film about South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It will engage and influence not only South Africans, but people all over the world concerned with the great questions of human reconciliation, forgiveness, and tolerance."
- GoofsAll number plates on vehicles throughout the film (apart from archival footage) are fake and do not follow the format of older South African number plates.
- Quotes
Anna Malan: [last lines - voiceover] Because of you, this land no longer lies between us but within. It breathes becalmed, after being wounded in its wondrous throat. In the cradle of my skulll it sings, it ignites my tongue. Five thousand stories are scorched on your skin. I am changed forever.. I want to say, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me.

Featured review
The performance and production is good, overall is good. its a movie about horrors that happened in south africa by WHITE people or government. The movie has some Major flaws in Side story too.
well its kinda movie about " black lives matter" thing. a married woman with kids has a job in radio. and she want to tell the truth to the country and world about the horrors happened to that country. where she met another black journalist from america. and then they both start working together to reveal more truth but also some romantic feelings which is kinda stupid. maybe she Pity soo much about black people ?.
-----------------spoilers (flaws)---------------
a married woman with two kids, sleeping with and between two black guys in same bed?
and then she kinda fall in love and didnt think about her kids? well because its not in the movie.
in the end the husband is angry but ok with everything ?
if there is no romnatic side story then this movie could done good.
