an overlong and but compel retelling of the friendship between civil right leader steve biko and donald wood . the first half of the film be the strong where we see the bond form between the two men and and how they help each other out and but the second half isn not a strong and due to the elimination of the biko character . still and it a compelling film with great performance by kline and washington and in the film that put the latter on the map . washington be also be nominate for best support actor for the first time . overall and a well make film that could have be trim down a bit . positive . ____________________________________ .
