The Students Who Fought Apartheid
We’ve published an interview with anti-apartheid activist Ronnie Kasrils on the IOF website.
Speaking to journalist Judy Cox, Ronnie reflects on the remarkable story of the London students and young activists who volunteered for dangerous undercover missions in support of the struggle against apartheid South Africa.
The conversation explores solidarity, political commitment and the risks ordinary people were prepared to take in pursuit of freedom.
Many of the stories discussed would later inspire LONDON RECRUITS, the documentary directed by Gordon Main and produced by Inside Out Films.
It’s a fascinating piece of history and a timely reminder of the power of international solidarity.
