Film Review

Where’s the freedom of speech?
· The story about the friendship between Steve Biko a black anti-apartheid man and Mr. Donald Woods a white journalist, editor of the Daily Dispatch and anti-apartheid activist man takes place in the 70s in South Africa specifically in King William’s Town.
This story talks about the life of the black society in South Africa in the 70s and 80s. Black people were discriminated by the white ones; they didn’t have the freedom of speech, nor the right for a good life style, nor the right for good jobs
Mr. Woods after talking several days with the activist Biko, he realized that they were doing something really bad, what the government and the national police were doing was inhuman and bestial, so Mr. Woods decided to help Biko and all black people to get what they wanted: Freedom.
In conclusion, I think the importance of this story is that we are all equal no matter the color of our skin, nor our culture and traditions, nor our religion.
You have to fight for your rights no matter what, it will be hard but at the need you’ll achieve your dreams.
The main idea of this movie in one or two words would be tolerance and equality.
It’s a sad fact that now a days there are still racist people, but the good thing is that now we can coexist all the cultures together and the word ‘’race’’ is finally deleted from our vocabulary.
