Mandela:Long Walk to Freedom

09:48:00

Racial inequality hasn't disappeared overnight. It was a long process and it required years of suppressed anger, the outbursts of which changed the ways of things. It was hard to oppose the ruling power, it was life-threatening to act according to one's conscience and against the norms. It also took years and unity to build a reasonable and consequent front against inequality, discrimination, and fear. The fact that we all now travel in the same buses, can eat in the same restaurant and have the same voting rights wasn't just a gift from fate. It was a long journey of sacrifice and determination. But let's be honest, in all aspects of equality (when it comes to race, sex, class, and religion) we are in the middle of the journey. A film about a man, whose life imprisonment changed the history of Africa. South African revolutionary: Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
