The film begins with the following legend: "In 1976
the South African Government declared a State of Emergency. For
the next thirteen years, school children adopted a campaign of
resistance. Approximately 700 were killed, over 10,000 were arrested,
many more [were] tortured and assaulted. This is the story of
one young girl caught up in the struggle for freedom in South
Africa just before the release of Nelson Mandela and the end of apartheid."
Sarafina shows the battle that the children of
Soweto waged against the brutal apartheid government that
formerly ruled South Africa. It shows that children can have an
effect on their world.
