Started a tragedy ended one, everyone important didn't have to die. The younger brother's character development didn't match his last decision as a police officer. Elizabeth's being raped wasn't necessary. How did Shaka Know about their history? When the older brother's character was built to keep secrets??? Compelling him to rape Elizabeth. What loyalty did the younger brother owe to the elder exactly? 🤦🤦🤦 Started good lost its way from the middle at the end one Questions the plot? The direction? And if the protagonists achived their goal? What was their goal again?🤷

The budget of this film is not why it was bad. When telling a story of somewhat a realistic nature one needs not only context but three dimensional characters delivering archetypical performances. None of what the cast, writer and director delivered thus far. This film not only lacks depth but it's grim portrayals of South African people is betrayed. A false representation of local thugs apart from the rape scene. That is the only aspect of this story that highlighted the savagery of our crime scourge. The abuse of women. Other than that the depiction of the timeline is very flawed, post 1994 house break-in with victims being sexually assaulted rose as reflected in this film but it was never the case during the late 90s as it is currently. The political subplots suggest this is even before the Mandela release and the shanty towns back in the late 80s to early 90s weren't as sporadic as what the film suggests. The writing was not only atrocious but lack of research displayed amateurish nature of the writer. The racial overtones were underplayed. Much of this film is bad. Bad production design, poor method acting, unrealistic dialouge, I could go on and on. Amandla suggests a need for power but only power is united people of the downtrodden amassing the strength to thwart apartheid. This piece paints a horrible picture of that era.

Can't believe it has such a low rating!!!? Acting was superb from beginning to end, with very believable characters. Heart wrenching at times, due to the entrapment of the older brother. Yes, this is not an uplifting film in some ways, but does portray the sad truth that there is no way out for some due to circumstances beyond their control. I found this film a difficult watch at times, but thoroughly engrossing! Probably a low budget film, but what the director and cast have done, is remind us of the difficulties SA has faced and continues to face. Thank you. For this film.

It's such a pity when a certain group of privileged people seem to always deny how evil and wicked they were (and are) towards a minority group of people. Someone wrote, "Terrible stereotyping of all races in South Africa..." Well, I hate breaking it to this one individual, but this has and still is happening all over the world today, so there is no STEREOTYPING in this movie. They're notorious for their hatred towards people who don't resemble them. Racism, hatred and crime remain an acknowledged fact throughout history and will never cease!

As "Amandla" (2022 release from South Africa; 106 min.) opens, we are introduced to 2 boys, Impi who celebrates his 11th birthday, and his younger brother Nkosana. It is "the Miller Farm, South Africa, 1897", and the boys live with their parents as servants to Boss Jakob and his family. Impi has a crush on Elizabeth, Boss Jakob's daughter, but one day they are found out, and it sets into motion a series of events nobody could've foreseen... Couple of comments: this is a true South African production, set in and around Johannesburg and its surrounding township slums. This is the directing debut of South African actress Nerina De Jager. Much of the film's dialogue is in one of the Zulu languages (among the blacks) and Afrikaans (among the whites). The main story line is in essence a variation of the Cain and Abel bible story, but set in modern day South Africa, mostly playing out in the mid/late 1990s. To say those were tumultuous times would be a Manhattan-sized understatement, with continuing tensions between the black and white communities and the harsh conditions of the gang crime-infested townships like Soweto. Please note there are several scenes in the film that may make you uncomfortable. Bottom line: this is a tough yet moving siblings relationship drama that plays out in the later years of apartheid and then the early years of the Mandela era. "Amandla" premiered last weekend on Netflix, and I watched it last night. If you are in the mood for a tough yet moving siblings relationship drama set in modern South Africa, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

This film was rooted in some significant socially and historically relevant occurrences but it played out more dramatically than anticipated. It was executed well but it could have done with some silver linings. It goes from bad to worse and although it wasn't my personal cup of tea some people who are fans of stories (like The Kite Runner) that might resemble many real lives, in which people experience unrelenting sequences of harrowing ordeals, would enjoy this. Good execution of a really really sad South Africam film. Great performances all round.
