Synopsis
This documentary profiles a troupe of South African teenagers who, under the direction of writer-lyricist Mbongeni Ngema, stage the Broadway play "Sarafina!" Scenes of the play alternate with interviews with the performers as they tell their own stories of oppression and deprivation suffered during South Africa's apartheid years. The actors' spirits are lifted when they meet the legendary singer and social activist Miriam Makeba, who was once exiled from South Africa.
