Co-Producers Moja Multimedia and Zoetic Management have announced the release of a powerful new documentary “Legacy of Hope – From Colonialism to Liberation.”
The 43-minute documentary explores the interwoven histories of anti-colonial resistance, the global Cold War struggle, and the enduring legacy of apartheid in shaping today's geopolitical tensions.
The film draws a direct line between the liberation movements of the past and the new global contests of power in a multipolar world.
Featuring compelling interviews with SACP leaders like General Secretary Solly Mapaila, Ronnie Kasrils, COSATU, former MK combatants, and ANC’s Khalid Sayed, the film delves into the Angolan war, the solidarity of the Soviet Union and Cuba with African liberation movements, and the ideological clash that defined a generation.
Accompanying this first release is an exclusive clip of Mapaila, firmly opposing the upcoming state visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to South Africa.
In this bold statement, Mapaila reiterates the SACP’s principled anti-imperialist stance and highlights the ideological and geopolitical tensions underlying the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“Legacy of Hope – From Colonialism to Liberation” is the first installment in a six-part series, also titled “Legacy of Hope,” which seeks to educate, provoke, and inspire dialogue about the past and future of progressive internationalism.
