The power of song to communicate, motivate, console, unite and, ultimately, beget change lies at the heart of Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony, winner of the Audience Award and Freedom of Expression Award at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. Amandla! celebrates the freedom music that sustained and galvanized black South Africans through more than forty years of struggle against racist white rule. It is an expressive portrait of South African life, a chronicle of the country’s struggle, and most of all, a love song to its music, featuring inspiring performances by Vusi Mahlasela, Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, and others.
