London Recruits Film Screening

Join us at London Metropolitan University in partnership with Anti-Apartheid Legacy, London Recruits Film, LMSU & The Centre of Equity for a captivating evening as we present Comrade Tambo's London Recruits, a riveting award-winning new release documentary film that uncovers the untold stories of young activists who risked everything to fight against apartheid in South Africa. In the early 1960s, a group of British students and young professionals—ordinary citizens with extraordinary courage—embarked on a secret mission to smuggle anti-apartheid materials into South Africa, becoming part of the international struggle for freedom.

Through personal testimonies, rare archival footage, and a gripping narrative, London Recruits reveals the human side of the anti-apartheid movement. This inspiring tale of resistance and solidarity will not only educate but also leave you reflecting on the power of individual action in the face of injustice.

Come for the screening, stay for the post-film discussion with key figures involved in the making of the film, including the film's Director Gordan Main and two of the original recruits - Peter Smith & Tom Bell. Don’t miss this chance to witness a pivotal chapter in the fight against apartheid!
