by the day.

- And they've got guns and...

- Comrades. Listen, brothers.

We must remember,

ours is a struggle for justice,

not domination.

Nelson, quickly, hide!

- Nelson...

- Go, go, go, go, go!

Your meeting is illegal!

You are surrounded!

All of you, out! Now!

Nelson, quickly!

Mandela, Tambo!

Where are they? Where are they?

Hey, Jew boy.

Where are they?

Where are they?

They are not here.

You lying kaffir.

Where are they?

Where are they?

Search the place.

Congratulations. It's

a full scholarship.

You'll have your master's

in a year or two.

And then if you wish,

I'm sure you could apply to live and

work in the United States permanently.

You don't seem to

excited, Miss Madikizela.

Of course, I am, sir.

Every one dreams of going

to America, but...

But?

I am needed here.

- Here?

- Bara.

Baragwanath Hospital?

They've offered me

post of social worker.

It is the first time the position has

ever been offered to a black person.

Yes, well, that's wonderful, of course.

Do you understand what an honor,

what a privilege this is,

both for the school and for yourself?

It's the opportunity of a lifetime.

- Excuse me.

- Please, sir, wait your turn.

This is for you.

Wait.

Wait.

Oh, my God.

We get at least

10 abandoned babies a week.

You mustn't let them in.

Not let them in?

Into your heart.

Or you'll spend many nights

crying yourself to sleep.

- I'm Adelaide.

- Winnie.

I know. Everyone's talking about you.

Choosing Soweto over Boston.

Winnie, can we give you lift home?

- Isn't it a bit out of your way?

- No, not at all.

Oh, there's Oliver.

- Hello. Hello.

- Hello.

This is my friend, Winnie.

Winnie. Adelaide has

told me a lot about you.

Look, I have an idea.

Why don't we go to Dizzy's tonight?

Oh, yes. Yes.

Adelaide. Adelaide,

you look lovely as always.

You?

Me. Winnie.

Nomzamo Madikizela.

Daughter of a teacher, son of a chief.

From the village of Bizana in the

district where my ancestors are buried.

Nelson Mandela.

You two know each other?

He offered me a lift once.

I'm sure he did.

Don't you use the bus anymore?

What do you mean?

Well, every time I go past

that bus stop looking for you,

you are never there.

I work strange hours.

Twenty-four hours.

Mmm-hmm.

Would it be rude for me to invite you

to share a meal with me tomorrow?

I will send my driver to fetch you.

I'm working tomorrow.

- Well, then the next tomorrow.

- Working.

Then the tomorrow after that tomorrow.

Maybe, maybe not.

I hope it isn't too late

for us to still have lunch.

Are you going to try some?

- Try the green.

- Okay.

I will try it because

it's your favorite place.

Are you feeling hot?
