Apartheid was a time of a major dispute between black races.

In the movie, we can see that huge dispute, because a lot of people was assaulted till dead, even if they're not guilty, was enough to be from a different race.

The photographers tried to develop that situation to the world, trying to put peace, equal rights to everyone. The movie ends when with the multiracial and democratic elections, just like Nelson Mandela did to exist peace between the races in South
