In the wake of his stepfather's death, Thomas Allen Harris travels
to South Africa to learn about the life of B. Pule Leinaeng, who
with his 11 comrades left their home in Bloemfontein in 1960 and
raised support for the fledgling African National Congress and its
leader, Nelson Mandela.
In the wake of his stepfather's death, Thomas Allen Harris embarks
on a journey of reconciliation with the man who raised him as a son
but whom he could never call "father." As part of the first wave of
black South African exiles, Harris' stepfather, B. Pule Leinaeng,
and his 11 comrades left their home in Bloemfontein in 1960. They
told the world about the brutality of the apartheid system and
raised support for the fledgling African National Congress and its
leader, Nelson Mandela. Drawing upon the memories of the surviving
disciples and their families, along with the talent of young South
African actors who portray their harrowing experiences, this film
tells an intimate story of family and home against the backdrop of
a global movement for freedom.
