Metropolitan building, room 5183
The Africa Working Group (AWG) invites you to a film screening on the formation of the South African's African National Congress. Following the film screening, a Q&A session with the producers will take place.
The documentary, Tainted Heroes, is two hours long and deals with history from the 1976 Soweto Student Uprising to the inauguration of former president Nelson Mandela in 1994. A central theme in the documentary is the ANC’s “People’s War Strategy”, which led to the execution of violent attacks on rival liberation movements with the aim to weaken rivals, such as Inkatha, the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM), the PAC and AZAPO in order to establish the ANC as the solitary representative of black people in the eyes of the NP government and the international community.
