On this day, November 6, 1987, Cry Freedom, directed by Richard Attenborough, premiered in theaters. Starring Denzel Washington and Kevin Kline, this powerful film tells the story of South African activist Steve Biko and journalist Donald Woods, exploring themes of apartheid, justice, and freedom. Although it earned $5.9 million at the box office, Cry Freedom was critically acclaimed for its performances and its unflinching look at human rights issues, with Denzel Washington’s portrayal of Biko earning particular praise.
