Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom Page #2

We won't pay a penny more!

We cannot pay a penny more!

Shut them down.

Get you on these buses!

This is the last chance you have

to get on board the buses!

The buses will be leaving

in 5 minutes!

Don't pay!

Let their buses run empty!

Don't listen to this man!

If we stand together,

we can beat them.

This man is a troublemaker!

We cannot pay a penny more!

Let's not pay!

Let us walk to Johannesburg!

- Afrika!

- Mayibuye!

There's going to be trouble.

I want to go home.

I'm going with them.

They're not breaking any laws.

- But I must go with them.

- Nelson...

You'll be fine.

Ah...

The Nationalist Party

of Prime Minister Daniel F. Malan

has been returned to power

in the recent election...

the government intends

to geographically separate

the blacks from the whites.

Total enforced segregation.

the new Cabinet

has pledged to a policy

of uncompromising white supremacy.

Ah, Thembi, this is your new home.

- We're calling for freedom of movement.

- No, no, no.

Each campaign volunteer

chooses which forbidden place to enter.

Whites-only post office

and whites-only toilets.

And in the townships,

we cannot tolerate this constant

oppressive military presence.

Come here, Thembi.

Why should we

obey their laws?

We don't have a vote.

This is not our government.

They are having a party,

and we are not invited.

So let's defy their unjust laws.

What can they do,

throw us all in prison?

- No.

- Let them.

When we are all in prison,

let them mine their own gold,

clean their own houses...

wash their own clothes.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't go to prison yet, Nelson.

My sweet.

- You think I don't know?

- Know what?

Evelyn, it's the defiance campaign.

I'm doing it for all of us.

Yes, you care about all the children

of South Africa except your own.

Hey, hey...

Are you seeing

other women for them?

Are you seeing your

whores for them?!

- 'Cause I know, Nelson!

- Evelyn...

- And I won't take it anymore!

- Evelyn, stop this now!

- You will burn in Hell!

- Shut your mouth!

Shut your mouth.

Shut your stupid mouth.

Thembi, go to bed.

We can't do this.

I'm sorry.

Thulani. Thulani.

The Boers say Sophiatown is a slum.

All the people that have homes there

are to be evicted by force.

Sophiatown is to be bulldozed

so they can build houses for the rich.

Let them try.

We say, "Over our dead bodies."

Let them bring their bulldozers.

Let them bring their army.

We will fight for our homes!

We will fight for our freedom!

If they want a war...

we will give them a war.

- Mayibuye!

- Afrika!

- Afrika!

- Mayibuye!

- Mayibuye!

- Afrika!

- Afrika!

- Mayibuye!

This way! Together!
