Between October 1963 and June 1964 a trial happens in front of the Transvaal High Court of Justice In Rivonia. The apartheid regime judges the ANC leaders (Nelson Mandela, Max Sisulu, Goran Mbeki, Denis Goldberg, ...) and hopes that the jury will give death penalties sentences. During the cold war the apartheid South Africa introduces itself as Western front line against the communism and the ANC leaders were persecuted for their pretended support to communism. South Africa owns also many usefull economic weapons for closing up the voices of the opponents. The Western developped countries (United - States, Europe, Japan) need highly raw material like gold or silver and they don't want to contest the apartheid policy. The apartheid regime thought that everything was under control but the ANC lawyers begin by saying that the ANC fight looks like the Boers fight against the Brits in the beginning of the 20th century. The turning point of the trail happens the April 20, 1964 with the Mandela speech where he explains his fight. He rejects all kinds of domination (White or Black) and he wants to build a democratic society who give the same opportunities to everybody. After this speech the NU demand to total release of the ANC leaders but the apartheid regime chooses to sentence to life the ANC leaders. The apartheid regime couldn't understand that nothing can't stop the history. For making this documentary the cinematographer Gilles Porte and the French journalist Nicolas Champeaux have watched more than 256 hours of archives.
