the concept for sarafina appear to be a sound one and that be aside from the musical perspective . it attempt to combine upbeat african music with a story describe the atrocious condition and atmosphere that black people be force to endure at the time the film be set . the contradiction of each of the two element be too glaring and the film never justifies such rapid shift between jubilation and terror . have it simply be a drama reflect these condition it may have be a good film and however the scene of school child be shoot down by soldier do not exactly sit well next to the song . aside from the poor premise the act isn not the best either and goldberg give a mediocre performance a do the remainder of the cast . overall a disappointment . negative .
