What is the titel from this movie

28 June 2024: Gaborone Botswana 🇧🇼, if only our parents had lived long enough to see how the beautiful land of Southern Africa ha turned out. 😢

Love this song and the movie didn't understand the song but it was beautiful ❤️

Most popular struggle anthem in South Africa during marches calling for the release of Nelson Mandela and other struggle stalwarts who were jailed fighting for black south Africans to be free and finally it happened in 1994 four years after the release of Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners,Aluta continua.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I can't believe this is 1972 she looks like she was 21 years old.

Yes, the emotive passionate melody came from the deepest recesses of her consciousness.

Kwekhu madoda....!!!!!

Please, give me the name of this movie, that Sydney Pointier acted in.

Letta Mbulu was born to sing.

Over a decade later and I am still here. ❤️❤️❤️

This was, I believe, the first movie Sidney co-directed. So impactful. The fact that he put a spotlight on sickle cell anemia back in 1973 speaks volumes. And yes, I always cry at the end of the movie!

Came here to say rest in peace and power to the GREAT Pioneer black actor Sidney Poitier. He died days ago while I was on vacation so I'm posting a little late. He has many awesome movies but this clip & song is truly one of his best kept "secrets"! This was his directorial debut; A WARM DECEMBER. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. IT'S ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITES OF ALL TIME. Many years ago I learned this song and since I'm American, it was hard making out the words but I was did it good justice while performing it. Plus I promoted the movie by letting them know where I learned it from. ONE LOVE, PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE!!! Andddddd the lead actress is the ex girlfriend of the magnificent ROBERT NESTA MARLEY ( BOB MARLEY)!

Can someone help, make means for it to be easily downloaded

2021 listening 🎶 Absolutely Soul Stirring 💥🤎💫

What a beautidul song. Saw this movie when i was very young and saw this particular clip now that i'm 69.It moved me then and it moved me now. Awesome!

Had to search for this original

I remember being 10 and watching this film 😍 I adored the song and learned it by ear very quickly ❤ I am 31 and still come to watch it and I'm proud to still remember it verbatim ❤❤❤ such a beautiful song

Grazie Karin

This song : playing in my head at work back to back

I have No words...I feel this....Lovely

Just watched 60 minutes (Oct. 2020). IT LOOKS LIKE THEY REALLY HAVE A CURE FOR 'CYCLE CELL'!!! With the 'positives' happening now with recognizing black actors, maybe it's time they remake this movie...but with a much happier ending!!! Can anyone write the english translation of these lyrics? Signed, a white 57 year old Canadian girl, who (tried) to memorize the song at age 10, and/but still sings along with it today. 💖💋💖💋💖

Essa musica me chama, me toca, me entra, me identifica, nós Africanos temos nossa lingua, nossa cultura, vamos para de imitar cultura dos outros e valorizar mais o que é nosso.❤️🇦🇴 Miriam Makeba Tuasakidila mamá

Another beautiful song from the motherland

I just watched just movie yesterday for the first time and what captivated me was this song. I left my tv on and when i came back home as i was opening the door it was a very beautiful and emotional song playing so it drew my attention and came here to google and i'm listening to it the whole day repeatedly. Wow the song is wonderful and the lady has an angelic voice. I wish i can have a woman sing for me like this all the time

So beautiful! I loved this movie in my youth, cried buckets. And Sidney Poitier is amazing.

I listened to this song in 1981 in Buntingvile and it inspired my life

I fell in love with this extraordinarily beautiful song the moment I first heard it in the equally beautiful Sidney Poitier movie, A Warm December. Much thanks for the video.

To this day this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard..for some reason it makes me cry and feel so many emotions..I would really love to find the translation..

Ahhhh this is a wonderful movie!!!! The song still move me every time I hear it and every time I see the picture!!!! Our race of people are soooooooooo talented I brought the movie on DVD can't stop watching it......

Black people are the world's most talented people!

I saw this film when I was younger. I remember even then being so moved by the song and thee emotions that came through even though I had no idea what the meaning of the words were I still felt it I love it

This is one of my favorite songs Love the voice, song full of emotion. Just love it it always fills me.

I love this song, I saw it when I was young and never forgot it, so much passion. I like it even more now that I know more about the woman who wrote it. Beautiful

one of my favorite song from this movie

of my favorite songs

Is there anyplace to get an English translation of the lyrics ?

In response to Laidyeh, yes, this is Letta Mbulu! (Miriam Makeba had recorded this song several years earlier, but it's not Makeba singing in this film.)

Though I love Miriam Makeba's recording of this song on the Belafonte/Makeba album from the mid-60s, Letta Mbulu's interpretation here is especially moving. I'm so happy to have found this clip. I remember seeing this film (A Warm December) in the cinema as a young teenager and being absolutely transfixed by this song. I later had the privilege of seeing Ms Mbulu on stage with Harry Belafonte in the early 70s.

Who is singing this song?...Is this Letta MBulu?...

Beautiful !

I can't believe such a beautiful and moving song is not available for download :(

splendida versione peccato che non si trovi da nessuna parte

This is the most beautiful movie ever! I lost a copy I purchased 15 years ago. I regret someone has't upload it yet

The song is from the people’s liberation movement in South Africa and was popularized by Miriam Makeba: see Amandla! A revolution in 4 part harmony.

I loved this movie. I had a copy on a vhs tape but I can't find it smh. Such a beautiful film. Really enlightening about sickle cell anemia. Ester and Sidney, and the little girl from the movie 'Claudine' all did a beautiful job. I was crying by the end lol. Thank you so much for posting this. This scene always stood out in my memory of the film.

Canzone molto bella e bei quadri! Sono stata a Roma solo una volta, ma per tutta la vita si è innamorata di questa città!

Saw the movie back in 1972 in Barbados and this song has been in my head ever since. Thanks for sharing this song from"A warm December"
