SARAFINA!

Sarafina! is one of South Africa's most iconic films, a powerful story of courage, hope, and freedom. It is a must-watch that speaks to the heart of the nation.

Set in Soweto during the apartheid era, the film follows Sarafina, a spirited and brave schoolgirl who dreams of a better future. Like many of her classmates, she lives with fear and anger under a cruel system that mistreats people just because of the colour of their skin. But Sarafina is not someone who gives up easily.

Inspired by her fearless teacher, played by Hollywood legend Whoopi Goldberg, Sarafina begins to find her voice. As the students rise up to protest the injustice they face, music, dance, and powerful performances tell a painful and beautiful story.

Sarafina! is more than just a film. It's a celebration of young people's strength, unity, and the spirit of resistance. With an unforgettable soundtrack and emotional storytelling, it captures the real struggles faced by South Africans during apartheid while also shining a light on their hope, joy and pride.

Whether you lived through the history or are learning about it for the first time, Sarafina! Reminds us that freedom is worth fighting for and that even one voice can help change the world.
