Cry Freedom (1987). South African journalist Donald Woods is forced to flee the country after attempting to investigate the death in custody of his friend, the Black anti-Apartheid activist Steve Biko.

The strength of this film really hinges on Denzel Washington's charisma, and you feel that when the story deviates from him in its (long) second half. Kevin Kline is a good actor, but as the movie pulls further and further away from its own politics and purpose and becomes what's effectively an escape film, you really feel the disconnect between its two halves. A shame, because it has its moments and the chapter of history it seeks to explore is one not so often told. 5/10.
