Plot Summary James Gregory once
lived in a farm and had befriended a native youth, Bafana, and
had even had a photograph taken with him. Years later, now
married to Gloria and father of three children (Chris, Brett,
and Natasha), James has nothing but shame and regret, as many South
African Caucasians in the oppressive Apartheid-era ridiculed him, leading him to hate
Africans. He seeks to redeem himself by spying on
imprisoned African National Congress Leader, Nelson Mandela. In the restrictive high
security prison his job is to censor all written
and verbal communications between prisoners, their visitors, and correspondence. James
is uncomfortable when he witnesses Caucasian police and security officers'
brutality against civilians, including infants, and tries to understand
why Nelson became a rebel. This leads him to examine the
'Freedom Charter', a banned document, reportedly known to incite violence against
'whites'...
