When Morning Comes

Arushi Raina

In 1976, four young people from differing backgrounds recount intersecting lives during the Soweto student uprising in South Africa. Zanele, an African student who also sings in a nightclub, secretly organizes opposition to the Afrikaans Medium Decree Act, which requires English and Afrikaans in schools. Her friend Thabo is not politically involved; he leads a local gang that takes money from an Indian shopkeeper. The shopkeeper’s daughter, Meena, sympathizes with the students.
