CRY FREEDOM, written by John Briley, and directed by Richard Attenborough, premieres in Los Angeles. Set in 1977 in apartheid-riven South Africa, Kevin Kline And Denzel Washington star in a thefact-based story of a local newspaper publisher whose persistent investigation into the suspicious death of a prominent black activist he befriended so antagonises the authorities that he is forced to flee the country. Potent, political drama with a thriller worthy climax.
