Has anyone ever seen the movie The Power Of One?

Yeah. I watched in High School. Its pretty sad.

Yes I not only saw the movie (in 1992 with Stephen Dorff and Morgan Freeman) but I too had to read the 1989 novel in school!!! The Power of One is about the life of Peter Philip 'P.K.' Kenneth-Keith, a young English boy raised during the apartheid era, and his relationship with a German pianist, a black prisoner and a boxing coach.
It's truly a vicious story of brutality but it also has its sweet relationship moments and then set off into the morning sunshine in their campaign against the regime!!!
Thank you for making me aware of it again and I also recommend it as a good book to read!!!
