South Africa's cultural
event
Picture exhibition and
filmscreening "Sarafina" by Darrell Roodt,
followed by a discussion with Royce Kuzwayo, Deputy Representative of the South
African Embassy in Ramallah.
Sarafina shows the battle that the
children of Soweto waged against the brutal apartheid government that formerly
ruled South Africa. It shows that children can have an effect on their
world.
In
1976 the South African Government declared a State of Emergency
For the next thirteen years, school children adopted a campaign of resistance.
Approximately 700 were killed, over 10,000 were arrested, many more [were]
tortured and assaulted. This is the story of one young girl caught up in the
struggle for freedom in South Africa just before the release of Nelson Mandela
and the end of apartheid.
The AIC is a joint Plaestinian-Israeli activist organization
engaged in dissemination of information, political advocacy and grassroots
activism.
