Comrade Tambo's London Recruits (12A) + Q&A

By the late 1960s, the Apartheid regime in South Africa had reached brutal new heights. Nelson Mandela and other freedom fighters had been imprisoned, killed or forced into exile. The African National Congress (ANC) was outlawed and broken, from the leadership through to the township cells. In efforts to reinvigorate support for the liberation struggle, exiled ANC leader Oliver Tambo lit the fuse on a plan that saw young British women and men undertake missions on the ground in South Africa disguised as honeymooners, holiday makers and business trippers. Sworn to secrecy for decades, this documentary thriller tells a nail-biting story of espionage with those who risked it all in taking on one of the 20th century?s most feared and brutal regimes.?
