DESCRIPTION:A.N.S.W.E.R. Film Series\nAMANDLA! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony\n($6 
 donation)\n\n"Song is what keeps us alive."\n-- Lindiwe Zulu (Freedom 
 Fighter)\n\nThe power of song to communicate, motivate, console, unite and, 
 ultimately, beget change: that ideal, gloriously realized, lies at the 
 heart of director Lee Hirsch's inspiring feature film documentary Amandla! 
 A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony. Amandla! tells the story of Black South 
 African freedom music and reveals the central role it played in the long 
 battle against apartheid. The first film to specifically consider the music 
 that sustained and galvanized Black South Africans for more than 40 years, 
 It is unlike any other film yet made on the subject of apartheid, and an 
 electrically expressive portrait of South African life then and now.\n\nTo 
 tell the story of this music, Amandla! turns to the people of South Africa 
 itself. Among those featured in intimate interviews are the renowned 
 musicians who helped expose the suffering of Black South Africa to the 
 world, In addition to the songs themselves, Amandla! retrieves a stunning 
 bounty of archive footage, some of it never before seen. Culled from a 
 variety of sources, the footage describes the brutal arc of apartheid: the 
 forced removals of Black South Africans to wretched, government-built 
 townships; the institution of onerous pass laws; and the imprisonment of 
 Nelson Mandela. As the white government grew increasingly repressive and 
 violent in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, freedom songs responded, urging the 
 fight on. A new combination of dance and song, the toyi-toyi, became a 
 potent weapon in taking on the police.\n2002, 108 min, South
