[The Power of One]

[(Anonymous)]

Apartheid was still in action in S.A. when The Power of One was first published. The book was instrumental in drawing further negative attention to the oppressive regime.

And? This comment is very true, but I'm not sure how it is an answer to the secret.

gives cultural context. op is probably coming from american perspective, when applied to south africa's race issues paints a different picture.

DA

Not an answer, but good context.

[(Anonymous)]

It's part of a whole genre of books and movies with a white character used to draw attention to black South Africans and apartheid. So, for the time it was published, it was politically forward; now it's (thankfully) a historical piece.

AYRT

The film was released in 1992. Apartheid was banned in 1994. So, my comment is applicable to the film as well.

I protested Apartheid in the states. (My university had holdings in South Africa at the time. The rallying cry was divestment.) So, it struck me OP might be unaware of the cultural context.

Not really on-topic, but the first time I saw this movie in 8th grade, I thought the main characters (i.e. the oldest version of PK and his friends) were so grown-up looking, and the second time I saw it, about 7 years later in college, I thought "They look way younger than I remembered!"

Also, this is my favorite movie soundtrack of all time.

Peekay's girlfriend was smoking hot, as was he :P

So, so agree with you about the soundtrack (with the exception of, funnily enough, “The Power of One”).
