to an event that stunned the world.

We no longer accept

the authority of a state

that makes war on it's own people.

Oliver has gone abroad

to run the movement in exile.

I'm going underground.

The movement has

always been nonviolent.

Nonviolent.

Not anymore.

- How's Miriam?

- She's fine.

Well, that's fine, fine.

She is good-looking, but you must

Amandla!

- Spear of the Nation.

- Yes!

- We are the people of this nation.

I need to set the record straight.

Now, find a foreign journalist.

I have a few questions for you.

Mr. Mandela,

if the government doesn't

give in to the concessions

- that you want, will there be violence?

- There is violence now.

I have beautiful children,

a beautiful wife.

I want them to walk free

in their own land.

Madiba, we must go.

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
