Something Moving...

I recently watched the movie "Catch a Fire" that tells the story of a man  and his journey through 1980's South Africa in the midst of the apartheid regime. I am glad that I saw the movie  now that I have a good understanding of everything that is going on in the movie. I had wanted to see it when it was first released but never got a chance to and I am thankful that I did. My brother watched about half of it and said that it was hard to follow, which I probably would have thought the same thing had I not read and studied quite extensively prior to watching it. I enjoyed seeing everything  that I had read about and heard Catsam talk about come to life. Umkhonto we Sizwe and the ANC came to life before my very eyes. Funny story, when "Friday Night Lights" was released I actually met Derek Luke, the movie's main character, and after I asked him what he had up next, he told me that it was a movie about South Africa. One can only imagine the living conditions that faced the people of South Africa and the horrors and atrocities that came with it. It upsets and disturbs me to see something like that and the fact that it was true and that was not even half of it is also disturbing in and of itself. Many people have no idea what exactly occurred over there for so long. Hopefully people will after watching that movie...
