Having spent 10 years in prison for nationalist activities, Shack Twala is finally ordered released by the South African Supreme Court but he finds himself almost immediately on the run after a run-in with the police. Assisted by his lawyer Rina Van Niekirk and visiting British engineer Jim Keogh, he heads for Capetown where he hopes to recover a stash of diamonds, meant to finance revolutionary activities, that he had entrusted to a dentist before his incarceration.

I stumbled upon this movie looking up movies with Persis Khambatta in them. This is a movie about a leader in the Black African National Congress who was on trial and found not guilty and released… and while in a car with his white attorney and her lover is accosted by the police and the white guy helps protect his girlfriend and in turn the men go on the run from the police. Through their journey Keogh (Caine) slowly learns that even though he thinks that he understands the struggle and the plight of Africans like Shack Tesla (Poitier)… he learns that he doesn’t. I found this film moving and eye opening at points - one was that Indians (from India) were part of the resistance and many other groups. This also features Rutger Hauer’s English language film debut. I would recommend watching this film. Along with The Power of One (1992).
