Have You Heard from Johannesburg: Road to Resistance background

Have You Heard from Johannesburg: Road to Resistance

A sweeping seven-part series unfolds, spanning nearly two decades of escalating violence and repression, as a nation hurtles towards a catastrophic collision with the rest of the world.

The story spans almost twenty years, depicting a nation's descent into violence and repression, with South Africa defying the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by implementing racial segregation laws. The non-white majority, led by the ANC, protests, gaining international support from networks of Gandhites in Britain, Sweden, and the US. However, Apartheid intensifies, leading to the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela in 1964, the forced underground movement of the leadership, and the deaths or escapes of hundreds into exile.
