| Summary: | When it was first broadcast in South Africa in July, 1994, IN A TIME OF VIOLENCE provoked mass demonstrations, nine deaths and a national debate over the role of the media in the new South Africa. This fast-paced political thriller, starring some of South Africa's best actors and scored by some of its hottest bands, gives an exciting dramatic form to the African National Congress' basic program of reconcilliation within a non-racialist, democratic society. Set in the tense days of inter-ethic violence before South Africa's first free elections, IN A TIME OF VIOLENCE is the story of Bongani and Mpho, two young ANC "comrades" and lovers from Soweto. Bongani is the sole witness to a train massacre by Duma, a militant with the Zulu-supported Inkatha Freedom Party. Since Bongani was recognized, the couple is forced to take refuge in his uncle's apartment in Johannesburg. |
