Abstract

This musical drama tackles the 1976 Soweto Uprising in South Africa. Black school children, led by the charasmatic Sarafina, protest the decision to teach lessons in Afrikaans as well as the arrest of a favorite teacher. Their protest soon escalates into a broader uprising against apartheid, with students engaging in acts of violence and murder as the state brutally suppresses their activism.
