cry freedom be a movie about how far people will go to find the truth . the first half be an interesting portrayal of an unlikely friendship between activist steve biko and editor don wood ( play fanatically by dezel washington and kevin klein ) . while the second half deal with wood look for answer on biko death . although most people favor the first half of the movie which focus on the unlikely friendship between biko and wood . i find the second half about don wood struggle to have biko story be hear around the world much more interesting .
