Sudáfrica, 1946. faltan dos años para que se instaure el apartheid, el racismo institucionalizado. Los destinos del sacerdote negro Stephen Kumalo y el terrateniente blanco James Jarvis se cruzan trágicamente cuando ambos deberán hacer frente a una tragedia. Drama sentimental basado en la novela de Alan Paton que cosechó buenas críticas.

This controversial political thriller, which provoked mass demonstrations and nine deaths in South Africa when it was first shown, gives dramatic form to the African National Congress's basic program of reconcilliation within a non-racialist, democratic society. A train massacre by an Inkatha militant causes the sole witness to the crime to flee the Soweto townships to take refuge in Johannesburg; but the violence follows him when his ANC comrades try to buy guns for a retaliatory raid against Inkatha supporters.
