I saw this for the first time last weekend also. I've been trying to see this movie for a long time & none of the Blockbuster Video stores i've been to have it. I found it at this independent video store that has a lot of old movies on vhs. This movie starrs Denzel Washington & Kevin Kline. It's based on a true story about african activist Stephen Biko who was played by Denzel. Stephen was killed by the police because he tried to get freedom for africans & the police didn't want that. They didn't have to kill Denzel like that. They beat him to death almost & they let him die of starvation in prison. Denzel did a good job speaking like a african. Denzel is such a great actor. Every character he plays is so believable. At the end of the movie before the credits were rollin, they showed a long list of africans that died mysteriously. That is so sad about all those africans dying because they were trying to get the same rights as white people.
