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 visitor... s, 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'. And when he does read this document, he changes his mind about Nelson's freedom struggle. Soon he, himself, will be alienated by his very own peers. Isolated, he receives death threats over the phone and has to face the trauma of the 'accidental' death of Brett. In addition, he and his family are kept under close watch by the security forces amidst tight economic sanctions by the international community, and growing unrest by the natives who continue their fight for equality, and freedom for Nelson Mandela.

Goodbye Bafana A white prison guard on Robben Island starts to question the apartheid system after striking up an unlikely friendship with the incarcerated Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela's remarkable journey from freedom fighter and ANC saboteur to long-term political prisoner to president of a democratic South Africa could be the subject of a dozen movies. Surprisingly, perhaps, this earnest drama from Denmark's Bille August is the first big-screen attempt to retell that incredible story, albeit through the blinkered eyes of a white prison guard who strikes up a friendship with the great man during his 18-year incarceration on Robben Island.
The real journey in August's film is that...
An enjoyable insight. . .
I found this film to be a very enjoyable piece, showing something of the history of South Africa. Even if Mandela wasn't a character in the film it would be interesting as a study of the changes in South Africa, both political and social, which took place between the sixties and 1990 when Mandela was released. The whole piece feels very South African to me (I am South African by the way!) Unlike the previous reviewer I found all the accents believable as they were similair to people which I know! Also, uses of words like mall. . . well my friends and I all use the word mall quite frequently so I don't see any problem with that myself.
Although most people will see the film thi...

The Nelson Mandela story will be told for years to come, probably long after the South African story has faded even though they will be playing catch up for years to come. I found the film very true to what happend without having to show us the spilt blood of the land. Joseph Finnes played a part that I will remember for a long time. 10/10
Thought provoking drama that gradually develops through strong performances and a tight script which reminds us of this difficult but important piece of history. Goodbye Bafana rightly takes it's place in my excellent Drama playlist.
"When those in power deny your freedom, the only path to freedom is power" Nelson Mandela
