South Africa and Apartheid in Film

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? I really enjoyed the movie, I think what I liked the most was how journalism (and photojournalism) took place in the war which as a future journalist is something that I always like to see. I'm not sure how I feel about the characters (the photographers), I liked that they were very flawed individuals who caught themselves involved in the situation and didn't know what to do, the movie doesn't potrayed them as heroes in any kind of way.  What I didn't like about the movie was the fact that the principal characters were all white. 2.  How does the film make you think about your future role as journalists and film makers/producers/creators/directors? As a future journalist it forced me to put myself in their position deciding if to take a photo or no, or even as an editor to print an explicit photo or not which is and ongoing conversation in journalism.  3.  In this film, and various of the other films,

1. Who was your favorite character from the film? Why? Steve Biko was without a doubt my favorite character. He had strong opinions and was a very interesting character.

The scene was very short and I would've liked to see even more of that, but the way it showed the shooting so explicit, it made it even more powerful. I also loved all the scenes of conversations between Woods and Biko, I liked the way Steve questioned fearlessly all the ideas Donald

1. In general ¿What did you like and dislike about the movie? I like that the movie is centered about normal south african black people that first-hand were struggling because of the apartheid. They show violence and abuse of power without sugar coating it, even though it was hard to see, it's necessary to show the dimension of the violence to really understand what was going on. What I didn't like was that I would've liked to dive deeper into their stories. 2. Who was the character you like the most and the character you liked the least in the film? Why? I have to name two characters here. My favorites were Patrick Chamusso and his wife. I like the character development from Chamusso but i really liked the personality that gave life to his wife. Her expressions made me feel a lot of empathy and heartbreak for her. I also really liked Nic Vos, he had an outstanding role as the villain in the movie. My least favorite was probably Nic Vos's wife, but just because
