1 00:00:01,859 --> 00:00:05,800 Those people were shot in the back as they ran. It was murder. 2 00:00:06,020 --> 00:00:08,700 Non -violence had always been our path. 3 00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,360 We need a voice that can speak from the safety of another country. I want those 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,820 troublemakers stopped. 5 00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:16,900 I need to see your warrant. We don't need one. 6 00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:21,180 The struggle, your other family, if everyone gets a piece of you, what is 7 00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:24,120 The judges find all the accused not guilty. 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,500 They could re -arrest you at any moment. We need to move. 9 00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:51,570 We have to move him! 10 00:03:57,610 --> 00:03:59,850 Nobody's going to look for the Black Pimpernel in this white suburb. 11 00:04:01,410 --> 00:04:02,410 You'll be safe here, Nelson. 12 00:04:03,570 --> 00:04:04,570 Thank you, Wolfie. 13 00:04:07,010 --> 00:04:08,690 Well, you must be exhausted. 14 00:04:09,390 --> 00:04:11,470 I'll sit up here on the couch. You take my bed. 15 00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:15,410 I'm not going to take your bed. 16 00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:17,910 You're double my height. 17 00:04:18,130 --> 00:04:20,350 Exactly. And you still wish to fight me about it? 18 00:04:28,490 --> 00:04:29,890 We cannot keep going like this. 19 00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:35,930 We cannot keep asking people to strike only to end up defenseless in front of a 20 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:36,930 firing squad. 21 00:04:37,550 --> 00:04:40,410 Something has to change. 22 00:04:45,810 --> 00:04:50,150 The man is charging around the country at will, organizing mass civil 23 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:51,150 disturbance. 24 00:04:51,930 --> 00:04:54,210 I promise, Prime Minister, we'll be doing everything we can. 25 00:04:55,210 --> 00:04:58,870 We have an army and we still can't find them? We are infiltrating the ANC, sir. 26 00:04:59,130 --> 00:05:03,310 In fact, we're learning that their old rivalry with the PAC is reignited. With 27 00:05:03,310 --> 00:05:07,370 any luck, their infighting should actually work in our favor. Let me make 28 00:05:07,370 --> 00:05:08,370 absolutely clear. 29 00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:12,550 Mandela is attempting to organize general strikes. 30 00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:17,610 And if he succeeds, it will cause our economy and confidence in our government 31 00:05:17,610 --> 00:05:18,710 great deal of disturbance. 32 00:05:19,550 --> 00:05:22,990 And whatever else he's doing, he makes us look foolish. 33 00:05:23,310 --> 00:05:25,540 Worse! Make us look incompetent. 34 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,720 So, I guess we're in business. 35 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,820 No, this Mandela's a slippery bastard. 36 00:05:48,460 --> 00:05:49,900 He's a clever cat, huh? 37 00:05:51,650 --> 00:05:53,390 Never underestimate American intelligence. 38 00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:55,690 I will find your man. 39 00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:06,410 I have to get out. 40 00:06:07,210 --> 00:06:08,610 I have to go for a run. 41 00:06:09,330 --> 00:06:12,950 You can't. You're in a white area. I need to run. It's how I clear my head. 42 00:06:13,250 --> 00:06:14,730 What are you trying to clear your head of? 43 00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:16,930 My wife. 44 00:06:16,990 --> 00:06:22,060 What? I cannot be as dedicated to the movement as I need to be without putting 45 00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:26,060 on blinders to every other aspect of life. But I cannot put on blinders with 46 00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:27,700 her, not with my wife. 47 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,040 I need to figure out our next step. 48 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,220 Rest assured, we won't follow. 49 00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:54,420 Thank you, Settle. 50 00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:02,940 Strike has failed. Then we try again. We persist. 51 00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:06,500 Giving up is exactly what they want us to do. No one is talking about giving 52 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,840 But our entire strategy needs to be reformed. But we've developed this 53 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,740 very carefully. We can't keep asking people who are already poor to stay away 54 00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:18,980 from work while they grow poorer and they see no progress. 55 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,440 We can't keep setting them up to be arrested or killed for their efforts. 56 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,780 action we undertake will be met with overwhelming force. What exactly are you 57 00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:28,780 suggesting? 58 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,400 I need to speak with the press. 59 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:42,760 There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile 60 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,860 to continue to talk peace and non -violence against a government. 61 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,660 whose only reply is savage attacks against unarmed, defenseless people. 62 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,160 What the Africans want is simple. 63 00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:59,000 One man, one vote. 64 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,820 We want political independence. 65 00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:06,000 If Prime Minister Vervoort's government does not give you the kind of 66 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,720 concessions that you want, is there any likelihood that the ANC will turn to 67 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,840 violence? I think the time has come for us to consider whether or not the 68 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,820 methods we have applied so far... 69 00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:26,540 We already have one. 70 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,520 Only it is we who have to have it. 71 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:08,560 I appreciate your concern. 72 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,040 But that's not what this conversation is about. 73 00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:14,040 So, you don't agree with me? 74 00:09:14,380 --> 00:09:19,820 Whatever I may or may not think about a violent campaign, you decided, 75 00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:26,200 unilaterally, to abandon the ANC's principle all on your own. I decided no 76 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,800 thing. Nelson, you said... What I said was a statement of fact. There are 77 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,580 who feel... Do not argue semantics with me. 78 00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,180 You were not on a court of law. You were talking to a journalist. 79 00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:40,160 to the world, to the people I am trying to get support from. 80 00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:45,420 And what they saw was one of the leading voices of the ANC abandoning without 81 00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:50,480 consultation the principle of non -violence, which the ANC has been 82 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,480 for 40 years. 83 00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:54,820 And now what I want to know is this. 84 00:09:55,540 --> 00:10:00,420 What are we supposed to do to stop the ANC from splintering from the crack you 85 00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:01,420 have initiated? 86 00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:03,560 Chief Lutuli has summoned us. 87 00:10:04,590 --> 00:10:07,050 I will convince them that this is the only way. 88 00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:17,070 I need your support, Oliver. 89 00:10:22,770 --> 00:10:29,290 My commitment to nonviolence from the ANC is unshakable. The 90 00:10:29,290 --> 00:10:33,890 nonviolence that we have advocated for years demands moral courage. 91 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,220 You look to America at this Martin Luther King and his freedom riders. They 92 00:10:39,220 --> 00:10:44,180 pushing for change right now as we speak with nonviolence. Yes, but they are 93 00:10:44,180 --> 00:10:48,360 doing it with the support of the American government because President 94 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,520 threatened to send in federal troops. That is not our situation. 95 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,120 Fair vote is leading the violence here. No, 96 00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:01,000 no, no. I would plead with you all not to embark on this cause. 97 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,220 Violence begets violence. 98 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:09,140 You say that violence begets violence, but in South Africa, so does non 99 00:11:09,140 --> 00:11:12,160 -violence. If we take up arms, we lose all international support. 100 00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:13,540 What support? 101 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,080 What has the so -called international community ever done for us? Give me one 102 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,080 example. 103 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,960 Stop, 104 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:24,960 stop, stop. 105 00:11:26,260 --> 00:11:29,720 Let us try to remember that we are on the same side. 106 00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:33,160 What Nelson and I do agree upon. 107 00:11:33,470 --> 00:11:37,430 is above all. To win this war, we have to stay together. 108 00:11:38,450 --> 00:11:41,210 I will believe in non -violence to the end. 109 00:11:41,830 --> 00:11:47,510 But we must take a collective vote. And when we decide, we have to find our way 110 00:11:47,510 --> 00:11:48,670 back to unity. 111 00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:52,530 Win or lose. 112 00:11:56,150 --> 00:12:00,490 Before we vote, I would like the chance to clarify my position. 113 00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:08,560 We all have the same goal, a fully democratic, multilateral South Africa. 114 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,180 to oppose the armed might of the South African government with passive 115 00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:15,740 resistance requires a kind of sacrifice. 116 00:12:15,940 --> 00:12:19,680 It requires a level of courage that I no longer have. 117 00:12:20,460 --> 00:12:25,840 The fact is, if the ANC believes in its vision, it must be prepared to fight for 118 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,840 it. 119 00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,880 So, I propose the creation. 120 00:12:31,290 --> 00:12:38,210 of an entire new wing of the ANC, which would operate independently, yet 121 00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:41,510 remain under the authority of the ANC. 122 00:12:41,850 --> 00:12:46,550 The purpose of this section would be to meet the government's armed aggression 123 00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:52,610 with a campaign of sabotage, carefully avoiding injury or loss of life, 124 00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:58,130 selecting for its target government properties, symbols of oppression, not 125 00:12:58,130 --> 00:13:01,380 people. I assume you are talking about a bombing campaign. 126 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,000 I don't want this any more than any of you do. 127 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,200 If you can tell me there is another way for us to fight realistically against 128 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,480 guns and armies, I will listen to it. 129 00:13:34,250 --> 00:13:35,910 How long before it explodes? 130 00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:37,410 10, 15 minutes. 131 00:13:37,930 --> 00:13:40,790 The fuse is essentially acid eating through cardboard. 132 00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:54,250 Looks like we can make a bomb. 133 00:13:54,770 --> 00:13:58,510 With a very short fuse, we need to do something about that. 134 00:13:58,810 --> 00:13:59,810 Yeah. 135 00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:02,230 So how many would you need? 10, 20? 136 00:14:02,890 --> 00:14:08,430 60, ready, in position across the country, December 16th. All on the same 137 00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:11,850 That river? 138 00:14:11,930 --> 00:14:12,930 Dingante. 139 00:14:13,170 --> 00:14:17,150 This year I would like to commemorate the Africana victory over the Zulus a 140 00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:18,150 little differently. 141 00:14:22,730 --> 00:14:26,830 The locations are very careful. We hit early in the morning when no one is 142 00:14:26,830 --> 00:14:29,750 around. This is our first strike. No mistake. 143 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,079 More casualty. 144 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,180 You hear the good news, boys? 145 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,740 Chief Latuli has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 146 00:14:35,940 --> 00:14:39,200 That is wonderful. It's wonderfully ironic when you consider we're just 147 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,580 blow up half the country. 148 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,880 We're moving you. 149 00:14:43,220 --> 00:14:46,420 Where? The South African Communist Party's got a new underground 150 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,619 A bomb. 151 00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:50,680 Will I get shot if I don't finish my chores? You'll get shot if you hang 152 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,260 here much longer. Let's get... All right. 153 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,380 We had made the right choice, but now we carried a heavy burden. 154 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:06,120 Violence has an extraordinary power. It can affect great change, but if you are 155 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,960 not careful, people both guilty and innocent will die. 156 00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:17,040 Submit or fight. These are the only choices we have left in South Africa. 157 00:15:19,380 --> 00:15:22,700 We have sought to achieve liberation without bloodshed. 158 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,360 and hoped to bring the government and its supporters to their senses before it 159 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,360 was too late. 160 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:39,880 For the sake of all of the people of this country, black, brown, white. 161 00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:06,440 Three more explosions, sir, in Durban Amplitoria. How many is that now? 162 00:16:07,340 --> 00:16:08,340 Fifty -seven. 163 00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:09,540 Sir. 164 00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:18,140 The ANC announces the birth of Mkonto Wiseswe, the spirit of the nation. 165 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,220 It comes a time in the life of any nation when there remain only two 166 00:16:23,220 --> 00:16:25,200 submit or to fight. 167 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,180 We ask the government to enter into negotiations with us. 168 00:16:30,810 --> 00:16:34,930 To prevent South Africa descending into a disastrous civil war. 169 00:16:38,450 --> 00:16:40,130 Then war it is. 170 00:16:47,750 --> 00:16:48,510 I 171 00:16:48,510 --> 00:16:56,490 asked 172 00:16:56,490 --> 00:16:57,650 you here to say goodbye. 173 00:17:00,940 --> 00:17:03,220 What do you mean? I have to go abroad for a while. 174 00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:05,920 We need arms, money, training. 175 00:17:07,180 --> 00:17:11,900 If we can build bombs from ballpoint pens, imagine what we can do with 176 00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,220 and the proper training, expertise. 177 00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:18,900 How long are you going for?
