Training Goals:

1. Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony (all volunteers)

Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony is a documentary by Lee Hirsch that features South African poets, musicians, and activits as they recall the struggle against Apartheid from the 1940's-1990's. The film depicts the important role of music, specifially "freedom songs", as a form of non-violent social protest against the oppressive, discriminatory regime that stripped black South African citizens of nearly every basic human right.

The documentary can be viewed for free on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9BXqbxC9tA&feature=watch-now-button&wide=1

Or on Hulu at: http://www.hulu.com/watch/206701/amandla-a-revolution-in-four-part-harmony

This documentary is specific to South Africa, but we think it's important that all volunteers learn about the different places we are working. Please watch this documentary and write a short response in the Discussion Board (under the Task Navigation drop-down menu) about any aspect of this video.

Just for fun:
