ENDGAME

PEACEFUL SOLUTION OF CONFLICTS

endgame

Apartheid was hanging by a thread in the South Africa of 1985. In the months prior to its final disappearance, a series of secret conversations were held in the endeavour to lead the country towards peace and democracy. A group of ANC (African National Congress) representatives headed by Thabo Mbeki –who went on to become Nelson Mandela’s successor as President of South Africa from 1999 until 2008– and other big names from the Afrikaner community, met at a remote house in south-east England to work out the first steps on a road that would lead to Mandela’s release from prison and the establishment of a new regime in South Africa.

Third feature from Pete Travis, director of Omagh (2004), opening movie of this Festival a few years back, and of Vantage Point (2008).
