The Robben Island Singers Film & Concert Project

By Jeff Spitz and Mickey Madoda Dube

 

The Robben Island Singers

Through stories, songs, film clips and Q&A three ex-political prisoners from South Africa's struggle to end apartheid engage audiences in their incredible journeys and the process they are using to make a documentary film.

From growing up in the townships, to armed struggle, torture and imprisonment on an island with Nelson Mandela, to the harmonies that fed their spirits in the cells and carries them forward onto a stage in your community, The Robben Island Singers open a window into the lives of former soldiers who now struggle to build a better future and just society in a new South Africa.

"South Africa is our country. In order to build our country we must forgive. And if we are going to forgive we must teach others to forgive."
