NOTES

Title from title frames

In this riveting historical drama, 10 political activists (including Nelson Mandela and his inner circle of Black and Jewish supporters) face a possible death sentence for conspiracy to commit sabotage after they are arrested by the apartheid South African government during a raid in the town of Rivonia during the summer of 1963. Bram Fischer, a sympathetic lawyer, risks his career and freedom to defend these men. Gold Award winner at the 2017 **Mill Valley Film Festival**. Winner of Best Film at the **UK Jewish Film Festival**
