Powerful Film!
This movie takes you on such an emotional journey. It's difficult not to become drawn into this film because of its powerful story and characters. It's an awesome story of determination. Not to mention, it's a histrically significant film as well. Anyone interested in stories of social justice should see this film. The characters are extra ordinary and the stories will take you places you'll never have to experience in real life. It's a great movie to watch, but bring tissue!

Love it!
The movie tells a lot about what went during the turbulent times in South Africa.

Sarafina is a South African girl who is part of an anti-segregation group in Soweto, South Africa. She went to a school governed by white soldiers learning only about the white history. Her history teacher secretly taught about how the students could make a difference. Sarafina participate in many dangerous protests where her friends have gotten injured, arrested and even killed.

This movie is very educational and would do well in a eighth grade classroom.

Still powerful after all this time
I think all who have seen Sarafina agree it is a powerful movie. What's more, it's beautiful at the same time. Listen to the voices of the choir in this movie. Sarafina started as a musical, and that talent is prevalent in the film version as well. The accapellas are spectacular, and the choir sings in South African fashion. It gives me a chill.

I enjoyed seeing Whoopi Goldberg in a dramatic role, versus the comedy shtick she usally does.

Lastly, tt's interesting seeing the conditions that apartheid era blacks lived in South Africa. Thank goodness apartheid is over. I'm glad what we see in this movie is now history!
