1: Mandela, Long walk to freedom (2013)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is a South African film based on Long Walk to Freedom, the 1994 autobiography by Nelson Mandela, a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician. It is a chronicle of Nelson Mandela’s life journey from his childhood in a rural village as he comes of age, education and 27 years in prison before becoming President and working to rebuild the country’s once segregated society. . Idris Elba stars as Nelson Mandela, Naomie Harris stars as Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.<\/p>\n

2. Zulu (2013)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Based on the program for biological and chemicals weapons of the South African apartheid regime (Project coast) and the book \u201cZulu\u201d by author Caryl F\u00e9rey. The film was chosen as the 2013 Cannes film festival closing film<\/p>\n

3: Tsotsi (2005)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Tsotsi (which means “thug” in township patois) is a 2005 film directed by Gavin Hood. The film is an adaptation of the novel Tsotsi, by Athol Fugardis. Set in Soweto, one of South Africa’s notoriously crime-ridden townships just outside of Johannesburg. The story is based on Tsotsi, the name of the central character, an orphan, played by Presley Chweneyagae who steals a car only to discover a baby in the back seat and inadvertently ends up having to look after the young baby which brings about a change in him that couldn’t be foreseen.<\/p>\n

The film won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 2006.<\/p>\n

4. Constant Gardener (2005)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Constant Gardner based on a novel by John le Carre tells the story of Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), a British diplomat whose activist wife Tessa (Rachel Weisz) is murdered. Set in Kenya\u2019s large slum, Kibera, just outside of Nairobi is a murder mystery involving corrupt pharmaceutical companies trying to use poor Africans as guinea pigs for their latest drugs, and British diplomats turning a blind eye in order to save face.<\/p>\n

5. The Last King of Scotland (2006)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Last King of Scotland is a movie about the memoir of a fictional Scottish doctor named Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), who worked in Uganda and finds himself unwittingly picked as the personal physician to one of the world’s most brutal dictators, Idi Amin. Forest Whitaker plays Idi Amin and he won a best acting Oscar for his incredible performance.<\/p>\n

This award-winning 1998 novel by Giles Foden was filmed in Uganda and is worth watching just to get a feel of the countryside and places. Of course Uganda is now at peace and Idi Amin and his equally brutal successor, Milton Obote, are distant memories.<\/p>\n

6. Hotel Rwanda (2004)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Based on real life events in Rwanda during the spring of 1994, when tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi peoples lead to a war in Rwanda, where corruption and bribes between politicians are routine. This film stars Don Cheadle as hotelier Paul Rusesabagina, who attempts to rescue his fellow citizens from the ravages of the Rwandan Genocide. Anyone traveling to Rwanda should read up on the genocide and try and get a better understanding of what exactly happened and visit the genocide museum in Kigali.<\/p>\n

NOTE: It not often Acacia Africa goes to Rwanda purely due to our Gorilla Trek permits in Uganda, so if you have time pre\/post tour, make sure you add this destination to your list. A must see country!<\/p>\n

7. Cry Freedom (1987)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The film is set in the late 1970\u2019s during South Africa\u2019s apartheid era, bases on the books by Donald Woods.\u00a0 The film centres on the real-life events involving black activist\u00a0Steve Biko<\/a>\u00a0and his friend Donald Woods.<\/p>\n

The films is set around discrimination, political corruption and the repercussions of violence. Nominated for various awards, including the Academy awards (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song) and winning various ones including the Berlin International Film Festival and the British Academy Film Awards<\/p>\n

8. Out of Africa (1985)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you are planning an East African safari and you want to get in the mood, this is a good movie to watch. The scenery is spectacular, the acting is great (Meryl Streep and Robert Redford) and it’s very romantic. This movie has proved to be one of Kenya’s most effective marketing tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
