forgotten freedom fighters
A Documentary Film |
|
Forgotten Freedom Fighters looks into the lives of a group of former combatants living in the Johannesburg township of Alexandra who have given up waiting and have decided to do something for themselves. It also documents the unconventional use of "ecotherapy" to help former combatants deal with past trauma and move forward with their lives. As South Africa gears up for general elections on 22 April 2009, Forgotten Freedom Fighters asks whether Jacob Zuma, a former freedom fighter
himself, and widely believed to be the country's next president, will
address the issue of the forgotten men and women who helped bring democracy
to the country.
