Comments | This is the true story of Patrick Chummaso, a terrorist freedom fighter in South Africa in 1980. The theme is very disturbing and shocking. The focus is on the human rights violations inflicted by the security forces on suspects, showing how they were humiliated and tortured and physically and psychologically abused. Emotionally disturbing, the movie is not for sensitive viewers. |
