"As long as I am regarded as a non-white, then I can never be a full human being in the context of my everyday existence…" Soon after he made that statement, Strini Moodley, co-founder of the Black Consciousness Movement, was banned and arrested. Tried under Section 6 of the notorious Terrorism Act, he was sent to Robben Island in 1976. SONS OF THE SAND - THE STRINI MOODLEY INTERVIEW is built around Moodley's last known filmed interview and intercut with recollections of his family, friends and comrades. It is a riveting testament to a hero who fought for liberation
and a democratic country.
