Sommaire
Brock Peters is Stephen Kumalo, a black South African minister searching the unfamiliar back alleys and shanty towns of Johannesburg for his son, Absalom. But Kumalo's unwavering faith is put to the test when he finds Absalom in jail facing a capital murder charge. Courage, dignity and sacrifice fall prey to the whirlwind of racist hyprocrisy and hollow justice in Absalom's trial. Absalom's reunion and reconciliation with his father, his jailhouse marriage to his pregnant sweetheart Irina, and his heroic determination to tell the truth no matter the cost set the stage for a tragic climax of both epic proportion and documentary immediacy.
