Cry Freedom also mimicked the style and many of the liberal themes of Attenborough's earlier film.
Despite these elements, a positive critical reception, and the fact that South African apartheid was an explosive geopolitical issue of the late eighties, Cry Freedom failed to repeat the box office triumph of Gandhi.
I always found it ironic that "Cry Freedom," while it's supposed to be about the inhumanity, ignorance and hate behind apartheid, it commits its own apartheid by making Steven Biko play second fiddle in what should be his story/film.

When it announces that it is punishing someone for “speaking openly” and for “criticizing the government” and that dissent is “an act of indiscipline“, the government, in a way that cannot be any clearer, is poking us in the eye with a fact that we like to pretend not to realize.
Politically (freedom of speech and freedom of the press issues as in what GreatBong wrote about here), socially (skirts and other dress code silliness), and economically (the forms and bribes one must fill out simply to start a business).
Freedom and the POTA do not quite match, it was one of the most draconian of all legislations, hitting at the very right of free trial, and the sanctity of Article 20 (not being forced to give witness against oneself).

is ostensibly the story of South Africa's freedom fighter, Stephen Biko.
An hour or so into the movie, Stephen Biko dies and it degenerates into a story about how a white South African newspaper editor flees the South African police to publish the truth.
The movie provides a very nice rationale: by not learning Afrikaans, the children were rebelling against the "white man's education system" that was partially responsible for their opression.
