1994: The Bloody Miracle
CCA
Tue 4 November 2014
As South Africa celebrates its 20th anniversary of the advent of democracy in 1994, it’s difficult to believe the ‘Mandela miracle’ nearly didn’t happen. In an orgy of countrywide violence, some were intent on derailing the first free elections. Now, for the first time, those responsible for countless deaths and widespread mayhem explain how they nearly brought South Africa to its knees. 1994: The Bloody Miracle is a chilling look at what these hard men did to thwart democracy, and at how they have now made an uneasy peace with the ‘Rainbow Nation’ in their own different ways.
We are delighted to have director Meg Rickards in attendance who will join us in discussion following this screening.
