My social studies teacher showed us this movie in seventh grade and this scene has always stayed in my mind.
You were lucky to have a teacher like that they are a dying breed.
“When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.”
- Thomas Jefferson
Well technically this started because the schools wanted to teach a unform language instead of a bunch of local dialects. I dunno if that's tyranny but if they didn't wanna go to the white man school no one forced them
Sorta doesn't apply here bud
@@kylegoodreau2170 You wouldn't describe Apartheid as tyranny?
@@paulallen579 not compared to what's taken its place in South Africa, that's real tyranny
@@kylegoodreau2170 I have no idea what you’re talking about. What has taken place that is more tyrannical than the killing of hundreds of children protesting, like in this clip?
This is one of the few movies of Denzel Washington that everyone has to watch at least once like Training Day, Glory, Hurricane, Man on fire & Fences. Powerful movies
Although I'd rather have had far more of Denzel Washington as Steve Biko than the other characters as he was by far the most interesting. Great movie though.
Yes
I watched it 20 years aho and i'm still so emotional with Denzel washington.such an intelligent man.always with intelligent rôle in movies
That place were they acted this scene is in Zimbabwe, Bulawayo at a township called Lobengula West near my hood.
Interesting. I knew it was in Zimbabwe but thought the place looked like Chitungwiza. I heard some scenes were shot in Chitungwiza. Years ago my friend told me her mum and some people in the neighbourhoods were invited to participate in the scenes with large gatherings and they did.
That's a big lie Sarafina was acted in SA
@@user-qq4fx3ik9f l think you skipped remedial classes..can you read????..you are hopeless
@@livyz02yes that's Bulawayo..LobengulaWest... The place still looks like as it was including that tall concrete tower at the water reservoir in the background...
Cap dis sarafina
At the time the SAP recruiters would actually be outside the school when the graduating class received their results. A lot of young constables were fresh out of high school and just out of basic training. The country had a siege mentality - police officers were assisting Rhodesia in their war, and the Red Danger was everywhere. All you needed was one rookie officer to panic, and fire a shot, and the rest was history. The pathologist who performed the autopsies fled the country after refusing to revise his findings that almost all of the victims where shot in the back. Sadly - the police are still very trigger happy. Just look at the Marikana Massacre.
How can you sanely open fire with live ammunition into a crowd of kids?!
It starts with dehumanizing a group, once a person is no longer a person but a target and a "threat" it becomes easier with each murder.
It's digesting and horrible but it's the truth of how humans can commit an atrocity, knowing it's a terrible crime, but justify it. In this case these cowards were scared of the Status Que and their race based power structure changing so it was easy to become more extreme in there actions and justify committing criminal acts, it's lashing out and brutal to try and place fear in the majority Africans from attempting even non-violent civil action.
The really horrible truth is it can happen anywhere, we see it with police shooting unarmed men running away or kids with BB guns 3.5 seconds before exiting their squad cars, once a man has decided a threat to his power and comfort has a face or a skin tone, he almost feels good when he pulls the trigger, that he's the hero even when the evidence doesn't match his decision that lead to a fatality.
Empathy takes work, fear is lazy and easy.
@@peppermeat8059🤦🏾♂️
@@peppermeat8059 if you fall in the shower first thing in the morning and were paralyzed, how long until someone comes looking for you? A few hours, a day? A week? Months?
I can imagine such a gross person has anyone who would care, edge lords are emotionally exhausting, it's why you'll always end up alone.
They didn't show it in the movie, but in reality this happened after they butchered some police dogs, then the cops opened fire. I personally don't think dogs lives are more valuable than human, but at least in America if you kill a police dog the cops will shoot you here too.
Not reasonable imo
Goddamn rights!🤯🤬
The people of Soweto, don't deserve this. 🥺💔
1:13 to 1:16 RIP Zolile Hector Pietersen and all the others who were killed in this uprising massacre
I noticed that reference too. It's so sad to think Hector was only 12 when his life ended. And Mbuyisa Makhubu, the one carrying him, was forced to flee the country after being continually harassed by aparthied officials. Then he went missing and no-one ever heard from him. His mother passed away never knowing what happened to her son. Such a sad story...
Any Kenyan here Gen z🎉🎉❤
South Africa has come a long way hey. Who would've thought we'd live free after so many years.
Are we free?
South Africa is now an Economic Apartheid State.
@@Geez704 yes are you held hostage ??

South African citizens have been through a lot yet there are ppl from our neighborhood countries that hate us. They tell us our government is spoiling us and we are lazy. We are hated for harvesting what we fought for.... What do u say when our brothers blood was shed?🤷🏽♀️

Wow I went to some videos about apartheid South Africa and in the newest comments people were justifying this and praising this and saying to "bring back apartheid"
really cruel and sick of them
They’re right wingers strategically spamming to make themselves seem far more numerous than they actually are.
@@alaskanbullworm5500 fr in a nutshell they are: Offended by everything ashamed of Nothing
@@PSP18128 Land belongs to those who can hold it. Life belongs to those who can secure it. There is no offense to be taken from the natural struggle for your own genetic proliferation. There is no shame to be felt in securing food for your family before your neighbors, to provide food for your extended family before your ethnicity, to share food with your race before your species. We all fight to preserve our existence and those who stopped fight are no longer here with us. It is not the white mans responsibility to lie down and hand over anything to anyone else. We want separation from the mud skins

STOP FIRING AT THE PROTESTERS ! without me
As a south African this is really sad and upsetting to see what we had to go through and rascim of white people in our country still happens in certain parts in south Africa are for only white citizens
To see that the highest number of DA voters are black is so disgusting. Empowering the oppressor to oppress you forever., tjoo.
You guys have got to be ashamed of yourself, most of all killing an innocent 13 year old child

I can see Old Magwegwe dam on the top 😂
Africans should not forgive and forget..
😂😂❤❤
So shocking
Based Sourh African Police
The hell
that's one reaction to South Africa's past
Réel

Now I understand why malema can't forgive them
The apartheid wasnt that brutal jeez
It was, this was a well known massacre
Yes it was infact it was worse than what's depicted
I'm crying rn why why yell this is not ok

Nigerian claimed to help south African. Where were thy here
It’s not a claim. It’s a fact.
Nigerians played no part in liberating South Africa. They came here to sell drugs. And that is the truth. 🤣🇿🇦
And somehow this is what boers call "better South Africa"?
And just look at how peaceful and safe South Africa has become today.
For the vast majority of South Africans, yes it has. The police doesn't open fire onto children simply because of the color of their skin, like in this clip. Has all violence disappeared? No, which is a shame. Is the government using violence to suppress people simply because of the color of their skin? Also no, which is a very good thing.
@@paulallen579Not for the whites
@@paulallen579it is hard to watch
@@paulallen579 Getting murdered whatever the reason is still getting murdered
@@paulallen579 It's objectively gotten worse for everyone.
Well that kind of attitude just doesn't help,does it? Be a long time before black n white are equal and your divisions of wealth is just going to breed hatred
I don't know the movie - but why did the mob think, that the guards wouldn't use their guns? Stupid...
They knew, thats what made them so brave.
@@KianDominguezRoberts well...that's a sad story...
@@KianDominguezRoberts all these colonial-related incidents, brought great suffering...
This is like the Gaza Flour massacre.....and Jallianwalah Bagh...
It so sad how we have moved on and forgot all this sad scenes an old man chasing a young lad with a live ammunition. The called freedom is not really working out for us, the wealth of the country is in the wrong hands. God bless Africa.
just run zig zag
Wy people 😢😢😢
So depressing..to see six adults whites smiling...kalushi..was a young man..who had many years ahead of him..totally wrong
And the African people fell in love with their oppressor so much so that they voted for their oppressor in the elections. DA.

horrible
Anti-apartheid Film
As a white south african this movie is offensive to me. These people were not peaceful they threw petrol bombs and big rocks i know what I am talking about. I grew up around white and black people that were there. This is our land and it was given to us in peace treaties with the Koi.
Lmao lmao lmao lmao. Do you honestly think that ppl care that this offends you?
My dear, the only issue is the rocks and petrol they threw weren’t big enough.
I want you to think about some thing. When the Dutch came to South Africa do you think that these uprisings would have happened if the Dutch chose to live equally amongst the African people that were already living there? The violence against white folks in South Africa during apartheid was the response to the oppression that they brought upon the natives.
People will only be oppressed for so long before they strike back. So everything that happened against the Dutch was well deserved. And the fact that many white South Africans today are living in poverty is absolutely well deserved and it’s karma.
FF+ voter detected
Maybe they wouldn't have thrown rocks if their human rights to assemly was honored? And the police hadn't shot at goddamn children?
Have ya no shame? Where were ya when Stephen Biko died? You’re what, 10?
You people needs to be erased from the continent.
First who of you has ever fired the FN Fal .308 rifle none i bet because you can not fire it in Full auto and control it secondly if the SAP and SADF had gone on a rampage the Officers would have skinned them alive the SAP and SANDF where utterly disciplined to European standards and no ill discipline was ever tolerated a movie sean that is all this is to discredit the memory of those that served proudly and where never defeated on the field but sold out by Nat government under FE de Klerk the Traitor
