"SOUTH AFRICA, 1963.
In this riveting historical drama, ten poIitical activists (including Nelson MandeIa and his inner circle of Black and Jewish supporters) face a possible death
sentence for conspiracy to commit sabotage after they are arrested by the
apartheid South African government during a raid in the town of Rivonia during
the summer of 1963. Bram Fischer (Peter PauI MulIer), a sympathetic lawyer,
risks his career and freedom to defend these men, while attempting to hide the
fact that he also frequently convened on the farm where they were arrested.
With AN ACT OF DEFIANCE, filmmaker Jean van de VeIde (THE SILENT ARMY) captures a dark period in South Africa's recent history, skillfuIIy balancing a nail-biting poIitical thriIler with spectacular courtroom intrigue whiIe paying tribute to the Iegendary figures who fought to end segregation and corruption in their country."
