The tension and terror that is present-day South Africa is powerfully portrayed in director Richard Attenborough's sweeping story of black activist Stephen Biko (Denzel Washington) and a liberal white newspaper editor who risks his own life to bring Biko's message to the world. After learning of apartheid's true horrors through Biko's eyes, editor Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) discovers that his friend has been silenced by the police.

“You and I are now in confrontation. But I see no violence.” - Love that part.
The ‘zel! 🤙🏻

Eat this. Hasta la vista, baby!
Steve Biko, actually. But Denzel nailed his character.
Its the stares and shade thrown for me...😂
..other than the likelihood of violence emanating from the angry man in red
RIP Steve Biko (December 18, 1946 - September 12, 1977), aged 30
You will be remembered as a legend.
God will resurrect him from the dead.
Amen 🙏🏾🤲🏾👏🏾.
Thanks for 3

Denzel was just shy of his 33rd birthday when this was released, but this performance is just as solid as any of his outstanding work in the decades after....

Citation, please.
@@blankspace178 There's literally not even a single result on google claiming Biko was ever involved in any bombings. Why are you lying?
To be fair, "confrontation" by definition can mean hostile meetings, which is something that shouldn't be advocated. It's a strange thing to be advocating "confrontation" instead of something more specific, because it leaves you safe in being able to lean more towards the "argumentative" side of the definition, while the audience might interpret it towards the "hostile" side. It's a very divisive word.
@@blankspace178 stop lying dude, the ANCs Mk and PAC were the ones that were active in the arms struggle not Biko and the Black consciousness movement.
Tell that BLM
Denzel is easily one of the all time greats.
He’s the GOAT
And its not even close
He is actually the best ever; but the motion picture industry will never acknowledge it. But the people know.
Hands down the best
Fact without doubt
As someone who cringes at most of the forced "African" accents in Hollywood movies, I've gotta say, Denzel took this one to church, and rightly so too.
Same!!!!!!!
As a Black South African Steve Biko has always been my favorite Freedom Fighter. He's legacy lives on today and South Africa will never forget him.
As a black African American Biko is a hero
My dear you are not a "black South African" you a South African, it's the minorities in South Africa that should have prefixes not us
Is south africa of today what steve biko wanted? south african spits in the face of steve biko
Also note that the movie was filmed in Zim
The accent! You wouldn't say his an African American
"I'd rather die for an idea that will live than live for an idea that will die"
May the spirit of Steven Bantubonke Biko rest well...

I see what Chadwick meant when he said there is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington.
I feel he channeled Denzels character here into his performance as T challa
That and Denzel paid for Chadwick's school.
Dude I can totally see that now. I can't unsee it. Wow that's good
How is it you have permitted your brain to falter so?
I notice that too.. Denzel in 80's was look alike Chadwick
Wow
In my top ten favorite Denzel Washington's performances and movies that doesn't get nearly enough attention it deserves. He deserved an Oscar for his performance in this role. Even this early in his acting career he was giving us phenomenal performances.
and he captured the essence of the great Biko.God knows our people are in dire need of leaders like Biko, Malcolm X, Lumumba etc.real leaders that cared more about the people than themselves
I remember seeing this movie in high school and being so impacted by it, that I started looking up everything I could about Steven Biko. I need to revisit his history.
If someone is trying to explain why Denzel is one of the greatest actors in the world, just share this video... No words needed.
he's so amazing in this scene, I didnt even know it was denzil washington. I looked on IMDB and was totally caught off guard.
dont think this is even his best scene in the movie. This one for example:

@@michaelwilson4621 That's another powerful moment! Thank you for sharing.
The tongue is mightier than the sword...a wise man controls his emotions but a fool explodes with vexation
It’s the pen but I get what you’re saying
There is a limit, almost every great transition in terms of freedoms for all human kind happens through violence it is a part of us. Man can not devoid himself of violence.
I have both. And trust me talking shit while cutting to the point never is a dull moment;)
Like everything,
Only to the right ears..
Proper time & place for everything = It's all about gaining + Applying the proper balance.
You can almost hear the judge thinking. He wanted to hear more.
love how he so eloquently breaks down all the opposing comments with intelligence and respectful sarcasm
Am African, and this is the first time an American actor through their accent and demeanor convinced me they were African.
How???Denzel dont even look african too begin with. He has the typical african american features
@@Dwyanerose What are the typical African American features?
@@Dwyanerose Kind sir, please do give us a description of what Africans look like. It seems you know these distinctions so well.

Y'all can call me crazy or whatever but y'all cannot tell me that a Sudanese or Kenyan person looks the same as an African American...
Look at somebody like BOL BOL vs another African like Joel Embied then look at an African American like Dwayne Wade..then look at a somailan/Ethiopian east African person like the weekend, amine, ext..

“you and I are in confrontation but I see no violence” . Watching this movie from Trenton, New Jersey, USA. Born in Monrovia, Liberia, AFRICA!
"You people are more pink than white" 😁
Get him Steve.... Wipe the smile right off of his face 👍
What smile? The judge agreed with him.
All he did, was answer questions, with questions. Very intelligent
I remember when my mom took me to see this movie with her after-school class in 1987. Such sweet memories of growing up in 80s Brooklyn, NYC. I have to revisit this film as a 2020s mama!
@Esan F. * YoU aRe cute 😘🤯🥴🥴💔🥀🥀
My whole school had to see this movie for educational purposes. Denzel won the hearts of many of my classmates.😊
This is one of his most underrated performances and happens to be my favorite of his work.
Same here. I think he played this role before his Oscar winning role in Glory. I was a fan of Denzel after this role. I admire Steven Biko.
Now I know what Chadwick was talking about when he said Denzel has paved the way.
That “precisely” at the end made laugh out loud. 😅😅
That was brilliant. The writing was brilliant. The execution was brilliant. Just really good.
I'd never heard of this movie before, but i'm going to watch it now.
Sad movie, watched this back in the early 90’s!
Me too, you bet!
Prepare for anger and sadness. Bantu Stephen Biko, is one of my favorite human beings.
Me 2 😂😂😂 I’m gnne search it up now
I watched that movie when I was still in primary, it made me sad
Wow. Huge fan of Denzel, but didn't know about this movie. Will definitely check it out due to this clip.
Denzel Washington has made many good films but will never do anything more worthwhile.
You should. Biko has been forgotten by many, but he was an eloquent speaker, a brilliant thinker and a leading proponent of the 'Black consciousness' movement. His murder was a brutal act carried out by brutal men.
You should definitely check it out. The text scrolling up the screen at the end will leave you outraged. Just reading it made me openly cry.
3:32 i love what he says here what a great quote. developing hope is the best thing that an individual whom may be going through hardships should do
Such beautiful eloquence and truth.
I was blown away in that I have never heard of this film and thought this was a mid 2000 film due to the quality. Was wowed to confirm it was from 1987. Looks amazing and Denzel is acting like a 20-30 year vet of the craft. Well done.
It didn't get much play. I think I watched it on Bravo back when Bravo had decent independent-style films on late at night.
Alot of people never knew of it. I saw it in 87 I was 12 years old. Its a must see.
The major criticism of the film is that it's more the Donald Woods story than the Steve Biko story and this is true, but of course Biko was murdered young. Still an excellent movie with a great cast.
Well, he started in theater in '77 so he did have about 10 years of acting experience when this was made.
@@notthatyouasked6656 Well, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, so that would track with it being more about Woods than Biko.
You can win an Oscar for playing a dirty cop, but you can't win an Oscar for playing the freedom fire donating Stephen Biko? I have yet to understand
African apartheid freedom fighter Long Live Stephen Biko and once again another amazing performance by mr. Denzel Washington but these are the things you don't win Oscars for like I said I'm confused?
The people you seek VALIDATION from our the same racist people you fight against every single day!
@@rolandgross3051 well said grasshopper your knowledge knows no bounds.
Sorry I don't know shit about movies and oscars, who won an oscar for playing a dirty cop?
@@DarkLeviathan8 Training day. A pretty average and puerile film compared to this
Denzel has always had a blessing around him for EVERY!!!!!!!
DENZEL IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST ACTOR EVER!!!!!!!💯💯💯
Denzel is truly one of the greatest actors in the world
“One of?” 😆
Easily
I thought this was Chiwetel Ejiofor at first
Not so good on accents though!
*of all time
The sheer brilliance of the acting in this scene, from all the players, but especially Washington, sent a positive chill through me...
The judge's final reply is precious. :)
@@yavor05 It is :)
@@TeeUrm No one played the superior minded prig better than the late Ian Richardson. A terrific actor who played the lead in the House of Cards long before it was adapted for us tv.
"Why call yourselves white? You people are more pink than white " lmao
Classic scene carried so skilfully by one of the greatest actors of all time, Denzel Washington, so young in his career.
Denzel u played the role of the one black revolutionary who should bee more celebrated than any big shoes to fill you did that ✊🏿
I'm South African and apart from the accent I think he channeled Steve Biko honorably.
Facts
His accent is better than most who've tried it though
@@innocentdlamini672 True.
for an american the accent was surprisingly good.
Yes this was good. Americans think we all sound like Nigerians.
This is the role he should have gotten his Oscar for.
He got his Oscar a couple years later for “Glory”
I have always LOVED this scene from the very first time I saw the film back in 1989.
It is extremely powerful.
"You people are more pink than white"
Judge literally almost laughs then regains his composure
And has the honour to admit that he agrees by saying "Precisely!". What a gem! :)
@@yavor05 Point being that white is a symbol of good, black is a symbol of bad. makes sense to call yourself "white" to make yourself sound good. The script here is just pathetically weak anyway you can tell its only written this way so denzels one liner fits in. The build up alone makes fuck all sense.
@@ROGUESPIRIT_ true but that does not define someone truly
@@ROGUESPIRIT_ The thing is, color symbolism comes from basic biology, and blaming it on human society is pretty weak.
Though it is good rhetoric, the reply misses the point though. Denzel was complaining that Black is associated with a negative connotation. Whites would not have to change their label since they are not the ones complaining. So the reply was honestly nonsensical. The fact that whites aren't really pink is not the point. The point is that one does not need to try and change the meaning of the word Black when the label is something one can just change.
This looks like Denzel but doesnt look like denzel at the same time omg.
Been thinking the same thing
Doesn’t sound like Denzel either.
Jesus you're right, I'm getting honestly Chadwick Boseman vibes.
@Chad K Or as someone once tweeted, and the man himself read it, "How can the blackest dude in the world be named Chadwick."
Wow...do you need glasses?
Denzel Washington is the only one, who has brought through a South African icon without butchering them. We have seen British peeps and American peeps abuse our characters.
I'm a so called african american ! We love South Africa and all of our africans on the continent..we are one race and one PEOPLE!!! WE will fight and win this war against the pink DEVIL ..AFRICANS WORLD WIDE SHALL RISE!!! WE ARE GOD FIRST and CHOSEN PEOPLE!!!! WE ARE GODS!! We WILL TAKE OUR WORLD BACK THAT WAS RIGHTFULLY GIVING TO US BY THE MOST HIGH GOD!! ASE!!
@@stilliriseDaat I am not phased about being described /labelled white or pink, but a devil!?, really? I haven't nor do I seek to oppress or belittle or allow anyone else to, any other peeps. No hate here fams.
Well, Africans dont have the star power or acting abilility, nor the charisma, or the funding, money, and technology back then to make such a great movie like this..Have you seen african movies before?? They look tacky, and the african actors all look terrible most of the time. You will never have an african filmaker that is the eqivalent to spike lee
@@Dwyanerose Spike Lee never directed this though, it was a white British man called Richard Attenborough. FYI the same africans you say don't have the charisma is the same people who are in this movie . Steve Biko was a African man, do you not see
@@latifahdwight1182 When did I ever say that spike lee directed this lol...
I guess y'all can't even read either
"Why do you call yourselves white?" "You People, are more pink than white."
Nailed it
Amen to that absolutely 😃
But then he says “precisely” I don’t understand what he means by that. I mean he recognizes that white people are more pink than actually white but then he acts as if he’s proven his point with that statement. Makes me feel like I’m missing something in their argument.
@@jeremybrown1437 well said .we are not black there not white .he should of expanded
@@jeremybrown1437 it's got nothing to do with actual skin color. It's about control. It's about simple labels to control the masses. Divide and conquer. Hegelian dialectic.
Phenomenal, phenomenal film. Remember it vividly seeing it in the cinema. It is one of the best examples of the power of cinema for good. Well done Universal, a film to be extremely proud of.
Yes and no. The film should have been told from Steve Biko's point of view. Not the white journalist's played by Kevin Kline.
Anyone else think after watching this that Denzel could have played Black Panther when he was younger?
Denzil could play the shark from Jaws and it would win an Oscar. He's that good.
There isn’t a role this man can’t pull off
bad accent though
Of course. But he's still responsible for Black Panther.
Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks are the only 2 actors that can play any role.
I met Denzel while he was in Zimbabwe filming Cry Freedom...
A goodly gentleman.. bought each other drinks and chatted about Africa and the beauty of Zimbabwe.
It was filmed in Zim?
When was it?
@@felixmuzhingi8684 yep
Simply amazing..acting and dialogues
This was the movie where the world couldn't ignore Denzel anymore. He had been very good, even as a supporting actor in A Soldier's Story as Peterson. He was doing work on St. Elsewhere in an ensemble cast. But this role, as Steven Biko...his career was never the same after this role. Hollywood started catching up to him, not vice versa. Definitely should've won for this performance.
Your getting a like just for your name lol. Commen on point as well.
I am ashamed that as a South African I have never watched this movie, but I know from watching this that Denzel was portraying Steve Biko my alma mater at St. Francis College. An impeccable performance, Denzel has portrayed some iconic roles hey.
I loved him as Malcom X. A Spike Joint production, really awesome how he just fits in that role. Must see!
Indeed, I'm South African too LOL
@Adam Sexton Irish people do that too, except we put "hi" at the end of certain sentences... Eg: "That's absolutely awful hi", or "She's some (b/w)itch hi", etc....
How do you think he did with the accent? Some people say it was sketchy, others say it was spot on.
Just awe struck! Marvellous 👍
One of the all-time classic movies...Denzel is a legend...the work that they do on the accents!
Long live to the spirit of Steve Biko... Denzil nailed it!
God bless the nation of South Africa 🇿🇦
This Are The Words of The Hero Steve Biko👏
"Why do you call yourselves white? You People, are more pink than white." EPIC!
@SniperSd Sid have you ever seen a black Person, like purely black!?! I haven’t, and I’ve been to Africa several times. I’ve seen very dark brown almost with a blue hue, but never “black”... -not coming for you, just making an observation.
@SniperSd Sid people with melanin come in all different shades of brown to dark, white people however are melanin deficient.
@Jonathan Norway Everyone has evolved together the same the difference is some people were naturally born with the God given gift of having melanin while others lack it. Europeans are majority pink and red, if they have a tan they have got some melanin.
Damn what an epic argument! Based and Crayola-pilled! Simply ebin my friends, simply ebin!
Nah honestly it's pretty hollow and pointless.
precisely
Speechless Speechless ... I like the reaction of the Judge.
People expect other people to accept "lies". So much so that when "truth" presents itself they look on in astonishment, almost in disbelief that one would speak the words of "truth". I too did not know Steve Biko, nor that Mr. Washington starred in this movie about Biko. Thank you Brother Denzel! Again your talent seems to give a refreshing meaning to Black History...
My favourite Denzel performance. So powerful and dignified.
Denzel brought Biko to life. You can hear Biko in how he praises and speaks
The judge said it all. You call yourself what you want to be called
2:30 The unspoken rule of lawyering: Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to!
when i watch this and look at where our country is today, i cant help thinking if the leaders of the anc knew what was to come ... what would they have done differently
This was indeed Denzels BEST PERFORMANCE!!!! You talk about one UNDERRATED MOVIE!!! The late great Steven BICO!!! AWESOME!!!
Denzel Washington has got to be one of the best and most versatile actors of his time. Every performance is worthy of an Oscar.
I love that back and forth at the end. "Precisely..."
I haven't seen this or any clips on it before. I gotta say, I always knew Denzel was a phenomenal actor in so many movies, but there has always seemed to be some element of "playing himself" to at least some degree in every role - it's almost unavoidable when you're a charismatic megastar. I don't know, maybe it's just the accent, but in this one he's managing to be his gripping self but without any connection to his usual archetype. Respect heightened even higher!
Simply amazing. Biko's words more powerful than any gun because they changed hearts and minds. You can see it on the faces of the barristers. They are thinking uncomfortable thoughts.
One of the best South Aftican accents by an American actor. Brilliant!! Absolutely amazing!
You know I didn’t know that Denzel is from the US when I was watching this movie growing up. He sounded and looked South African
I need to see this film. Powerful stuff. Great acting from denzel.
Definitely have to see this!
I watched this movie with some friends of ours from South Africa when it first came out, they were actually in a lot of the rallies and they told us the first hand account, chilling stuff
I watched this movie years ago after hearing of the fate of Steve Biko. It's one of the reasons I really like Denzel Washington as an actor. Brilliant movie.
Im glad my English teacher made us watch this movie, Grade 10. May her soul rest in Peace.
Denzel always takes on the most honorable roles.
Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of all time. That’s it. Nothing else.
This was the movie that Denzel was robbed of another Oscar. SMDH
@J R
The acting here is nothing out of the ordinary, though, although the message is positive.
Agreed 🤝
J R ... “Best actor in a supporting role”... Sean Connery won it that year. And it was Connery’s only Oscar he’s ever won. Morgan Freeman was also in the running... Denzel did go on to win it two years later for Glory. And he eventually won “best actor” with Training Day.
But i think writers are more deserved for for their writting
Absolutely robbed , however won when he played a murderous crooked cop 🤔hmmmm wonder why
He dragged them from back to forth,he cleaned the floor with their preconceived ideas,he presented facts.
"You people are more pink than white" I legit just choked on my coffee 😂😂👌😝
Was your coffee black or a shade of brown?
Damn I never seen this but this small clap has me wanting to watch it
Excellent movie.
He's doing a fantastic job of speaking with the voice of the character, there are many points where it doesn't sound like Denzel at all.
Yeah, that's called acting... Good acting... LOL!
@@RunWayUnderground Indeed!
If the judge is not South African he definitely nailed that accent.
Why would the judge be African he's white
@@trvpmusic2569 Does a person have to be black to be considered an African, there are whites in Africa, but not by much. For example there are whites in South Africa, who are the biggest minority, but that doesn't mean that there are not white people here
@@kgosimagano8966 That's like asking does a person have to be asian to be considered Chinese or Japanese or does a person need to be white to be considered Russian

it's amazing that denzel did this great of a job performing this accent considering the way he sounds when he normally talks. Denzel is goated
Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors of all times. Balanced, fair, courageous, intelligent and humble.
Too bad in the real world the “justice system” isn’t so open to discussion.
You can say that again
Not if you enforce the Constitution and Treaties.
agreed
don't just talk about black, asian people got discriminate so badly. even in the NBA itselves black people do not want to recognize asian. always get thrown under the bus.
"But your honor I didn't steal that car, I fell into it and it just took off".
Not every court case is about Human rights.
He deserves an Oscar for this scene alone.
@Nick Rykert
How can you say that? How is the acting in this scene so excellent that it deserves an Oscar? The script might be good, but this scene alone has pretty average acting, and there are many more Oscar deserving performances by Denzel, like Training Day.
His american accent is also getting through at some points.
You deserve an Oscar for your comment. True statement. They don't wanna bring that type of attention to a movie like this. Notice they have him one for training day. Bad black cop, good white cop movie
@@TimrodRa I don’t get you guys. His acting was amazing in Training Day, if you make an effort to look past the fact that he played a “bad guy”. His acting is average in this movie.
@@whengrapespop5728 you right his acting was great but the image and elements was unworthy of being his only oscar win or his best. Being a thug cop is nothing for Denzel. Biko, the african accent, Malcolm X, those characters showed his range and greatness. Like Jamie Foxx in Ray. His greatest role I think.
I can't believe that is Denzel. Phenomenal acting. I need to watch this!
watched this last year and i still have chills
I watched the 1st time on VHS, it will always be a favourite, superb acting and subject!💚🖤🎟

@@7oo282 So when CZcams recommended me a video of a man in a wet suit dunking himself in a septic tank it was an agenda.
@@kingjamestres
Obviously it was, what else could it be
Going back it is amazing how well he played this part. 💯🙏
Stephen Biko was a very articulate and courageous brotheri.In the same vein as Malcolm, Lumumba, Mandela and many others that dauntlessly and intrepidly put their lives on the for our freedom. And Denzel is always the right guy to play those type of heros. He seamlessly transforms himself into the person to the point where sometimes fiction and reality are blurred. And you start seeing the person on the screen and not Denzel, that's why he truly is a greater than just great actor.
Never heard of this film before, it's certainly worth watching!
Its called " cry freedom", you can also read Biko's books " I write what I like" and " Black man you are on your own"
As a South African, I have always cringed when I saw that an American had been cast to act as a South African because they always do such a terrible job at it. When I watched "Cry Freedom" for the first time I was so impressed with Denzel's portrayal of Biko! He did justice to our national hero. He even looks a bit like him in this movie. Since then he has always been one of my favourite actors in Hollywood.
Denzel is one of the all time greats ! He is a master at his craft !
And I thought that I've seen all of Denzels' movies. This one escaped me.
Me too
"Precisely!" I like this pink judge.
Denzel Washington was great playing the role of the Steve Biko in the film "Cry Freedom"
And he should have won 🏆 for this role
The last 2 statement in this clip.... The last exchange between the Judge and Denzel.... I love it and totally accurate.
Saw this movie many years ago and the Biko line that just permeates from it is "I am Bantu Stephen Biko and I will not be who you want me to be." It struck me in the same way as the the Sidney line "Dad, you see yourself as a colored man, I see myself as a man".
