THE LONDON RECRUITS

Gordon Main, UK/South Africa, 2022, 1h43.

THE LONDON RECRUITS directed by Gordon Main

At the height of apartheid, late sixties/early 70’s, an international group of working-class students and workers living in London answered Oliver Tambo’s secret call for undercover agents.

This film tells the story of the young men and women who brought to life – at great personal risk – Oliver Tambo’s daring, non violent strategy to keep hope alive in his embattled people in South Africa.

Not everyone made it out.
