A MILLION COLOURS movie poster

A MILLION COLOURS is a movie based on true events that happened around the 1970’s. It follows the life of two young men, Muntu Ndebele and Norman Knox, the actors from the acclaimed South African movie “e’lollipop”. We are taken through how their lives changed when the country went into a state of emergency.

“A MILLION COLOURS” is about the ultimate triumph of friends over diversity. It is a true story of danger, hearth-ache, and triumphs. It is an epic documentation of the human condition and its trials. Muntu and Norman were great friends from when they appeared in the movie “e’lollipop” and they were torn apart by the apartheid system, we are taken through their how their relationship was strained and almost destroyed by the apartheid regime. They were forced to fight on different sides of the fence and miraculously they were re-united after struggle when Nelson Mandela became president in 1994.

This is a great movie to watch if you are one of those sentimental types who enjoy a good movie, it is bound to probably be a real tear jerker this one. The film makers decided to cast an almost unknown cast, most probably they were trying to make the movie seem as real as possible, I applaud them for that, nothing like a big well known actor to distract you from the reality of the film.
If you feel like a movie that has no CGI effects in it or constant muscle men testing their strengths on each other’s heads and if you want to learn something and leave the cinema fulfilled, then this is the movie for you. Check out imdb for more information about the movie.
