With this movie, writer and director Euzhan Palcy became the first Black woman to direct a major Hollywood movie.
This was the final movie to depict an anti-Apartheid story that was released while African philanthropist, activist, statesman, politician, and anti-Apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela was still in prison.
According to the Turner Classic Movies Database website, "The film is dedicated to Hannah and Henri Marie-Joseph. While Marlon Brando agreed to work on this film at no cost, he accepted the minimum required Screen Actors Guild rate of $4,000. Donald Sutherland, Michael Gambon, Janet Suzman and Susan Sarandon also worked for reduced salaries. According to a televised interview with Brando on October 7, 1989, the actor received $3,300,000 for his work (an anticipated percentage of the gross), which he planned to donate to the anti-Apartheid cause."
Many of the black South African actors and actresses appearing in this movie were fearful of reprisals from the South African government when they returned home after principal photography on this movie wrapped.
This movie received an Academy Award nomination in one category for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Marlon Brando, but he lost out to Denzel Washington for Glory (1989). The nomination was Brando's eighth and final Oscar nomination. He had won the Best Actor Academy Award twice before, for On the Waterfront (1954) and The Godfather (1972). This movie was Brando's only Oscar nomination in the Best Actor in a Supporting Role category.
"Ian McKenzie: Justice and law, Mr. Du Toit, are often just... well they're, I suppose they can be described as distant cousins. And here in South Africa, well, they're simply not on speaking terms at all."
"Ian McKenzie: I will take your case if only to make it abundantly clear how justice in South Africa is misapplied when it comes to the question of race."
