See this documentary film: Dear Mandela @ the Brattle
These days it's easy to get discouraged when trying to
make a dent in the miseries of the world. But those battling Apartheid decades
ago in South Africa faced
far more daunting challenges and prevailed, and following their example today
are young activists in South
Africa, battling to protect shantytown
dwellers threatened with eviction. Dara Kell and Christopher Nizza's
documentary Dear Mandela (2011)
follows their courageous campaign, and those with wavering faith in the
viability of hope and change might take inspiration from it. Another
outstanding entry in the DocYard program at the Brattle Theater, it screens
with the filmmakers in attendance at 40
Brattle St, Cambridge
