Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2002)

It’s an interesting fact that protest songs play an important role during civil rights struggles. During the many long years of apartheid, music helped unite and motivate South African activists during the various stages of their struggle. Amandla! features interviews from many performers and other revolutionaries who were active during those years, giving their own accounts of the events they experienced. As that, it’s a valuable time capsule, but what really shines in the film is the music itself. The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission.
