Denzel Washington plays 1970s black activist Steve Biko in the Apartheid-era drama Cry Freedom—but his profound words carry just as much resonance today.

Synopsis:
The tension and terror that is present-day South Africa is powerfully portrayed in director Richard Attenborough’s sweeping story of black activist Stephen Biko (Denzel Washington) and a liberal white newspaper editor who risks his own life to bring Biko’s message to the world. After learning of apartheid’s true horrors through Biko’s eyes, editor Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) discovers that his friend has been silenced by the police. Determined not to let Biko’s message go unheard, Woods undertakes a perilous quest to escape South Africa and bring Biko’s remarkable tale of courage to the world. The riveting, true story offers a stirring account of man at his most evil and most heroic.

Purity?
I think it’s hilarious a government will call you white or black and people starts believe in it lol
They're not white just like how black people aren't black. The true Biblical identities of the national are coming out and the lies are over.
The end🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a racist uneducated post ? Why is Malcolm x and Boyz in the hood so black ? Because it's black history. Black ppl don't want to be included they want to put on a British accent dress up and make up a fake history so they can imagine their history is aristocratic. It's not only an insult to us actual Europeans it's also rewriting history . If u want to be included in movies get black writers to write about black ppl. I imagine if Brad Pitt was cast as Martin Luther king there would be outrage . Black ppl stop coming into my history
Mr Denzel Washington did an amazing job playing Mr Steve Biko in this movie from the way he appears to his accent, wow!
Why do you call yourself black ?
Correct me if I'm wrong but Europeans started calling themselves white only during and after Renaissance period, because the color white was used to signify purity/beauty/greatness, right?
I think Denzel and the judge were agreeing without speaking it that the labels are what hold both races back from being able to achieve true peace among people. Or that the problems begin at the very outset, with how we label ourselves and the psychological impact those labels have . You cant fight the problem unless you start with the simple stuff first. Im going to stop seeing you as a black man, and youre going to stop seeing me as a white man. Obviously we have eyes we cannot deny whats obvious but it would be ridiculous for it to have any impact on our decisions. What an absurd notion….
Give me a break you should see how black south africans treat blacks from other african countries, text book xenophobia.
Who was he playing?
Look like denzel washington
The freedom of the press. A plural society is a concept to clarify. Words can matter. It is a question of balance or fairness. One day the children will say the truth. It is better when belief is oneself belief. That is fair for the bad done cannot be changed. People should be tolerant with the blue color which is a classic and noble color.
Thats the supidest shit iv ever seen
This speech aged like milk. Today black supremacy reigns supreme in South Afrikkka.
Title please
The comeback was hilarious
Except that South Africa is fkd now by a black government. Reverse racism, corruption and theft of resources. NOTHING has been bettered by a black government
I would have LOVED TO MEET MR. STEVE BIKO. A VERY INTELLIGENT, OUT SPOKEN INDIVIDUAL FIGHTING FOR THE GOOD OF ALL MAN KIND 😢 😢 😢 A GOOD MAN GONE TOO SOON 😭 😭 😭 HE'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ❤ 🇺🇸
Denzel is a Legend
I’m yet to see a black person an a white person, I’ve been searching for years an still no luck 😫😫😫😫😫😫
A brilliant portrayal of Steven Bantu Biko ✊🏽
You people are more pink than white. The game is over.
The last burn sums it all up perfectly!
I haven't seen this or any clips on it before. I gotta say, I always knew Denzel was a phenomenal actor in so many movies, but there has always seemed to be some element of "playing himself" to at least some degree in every role – it's almost unavoidable when you're a charismatic megastar. I don't know, maybe it's just the accent, but in this one he's managing to be his gripping self but without any connection to his usual archetype. Respect heightened even higher!
To me this performance in Cry Freedom is Denzel’s finest!!!
Blacks come with the planet. Whites come from another planet. Ancient Africans use to know this.

I remember watching this on TV and this is the only scene I remember because of the brown and pink quotes.
Black ✊🏾
Now indegenous/original women, please stop wearing them labels " Love Pink" u are worshipping their pink pale color.. Yakub really messed up his clones on planet Cern aka Nirn..
Brilliant.
It’s! Amazing how white peoples will accept lies over truth 😈 . But cannot stand the truth and righteousness. But know their time is short/ is here. The end for them
I'm assuming it comes from the Bible, "washed white as snow." And all people can be white, in that sense, if they are faithful and repentant unto God Almighty.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
– Romans 6:23❤ Please guys If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord then you Need to do now Everyday you wake up you have another chance of repenting and being saved from Eternal torment because of your sins. THE ALMIGHTY and amazing GOD sent his Beloved son to Die for this evil and sinful world.Whosoever Shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard. -Proverbs 21:13John 15:12: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."Amen We need to repent and be ready everyone has fallen short of the grace of God But Jesus Christ the son died on the Cross For us And the whole World Please Anyone Who Has Not started a relationship with Christ Please Do Now. JOHN (3:16) For God So Love The World That he Gave His Only Begotten Son For Whosoever believes in Him Will Not Perish But Have Everlasting life. AMEN🙏🏿👍🏿❤❤❤🤗🥰😚😊😘😁😍 DONT GO TO Hell.

In my top ten favorite Denzel Washington's performances and movies that doesn't get nearly enough attention it deserves. He deserved an Oscar for his performance in this role. Even this early in his acting career he was giving us phenomenal performances.
