Description

Richard Attenborough directs this biographical drama starring Denzel Washington as South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko. When white newspaper editor Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) meets Steve Biko, his own implicit racism is challenged as he becomes more aware of just how poorly black people are being treated. However, his efforts to assist Biko in his campaign for equality are met with resistance by the racist government.

When it becomes clear that Woods' life and career are in danger, he makes a daring attempt to evade capture and flee the country with his young family.
