| Summary: | In 1943, Trevor Huddleston (1913-1998), a member of the Anglican Community of the Resurrection, was sent to South Africa to the mission station at Rosettenville, Sophiatown. Over the course of the following thirteen years he became a much-loved parish priest and a fervent anti-apartheid activist. This documentary, made five years prior to South Africa's first democratic elections, pays tribute to Father Huddleston and traces his life and career, first in South Africa and then as Bishop of Masasi in Tanzania. Back in Great Britain he became Master of Novices at the CR Mirfield mother house and after serving as Bishop of Mauritius, was consecrated Archbishop of the Indian Ocean. After his retirement in 1983, he devoted all of his energy to the Anti-Apartheid Movement, campaigning for a cultural, economic and sports boycott against South Africa. The film is structured around an interview with Huddleston himself and there are additional comments from Hilda Bernstein, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Oliver Tambo, Jonas Gwangwa, Helen Joseph, Abdul S. Minty and Sir Shridath Ramphal. |
