📼 Cry Freedom (VHS, 1988 – MCA Home Video)

Directed by Richard Attenborough, this powerful historical drama tells the true story of South African journalist Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) and his friendship with anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko (Denzel Washington). Set against the brutal backdrop of 1970s apartheid, the film explores the cost of truth, the courage of resistance, and the ripple effect of one man’s voice. Washington’s performance earned him an Oscar nomination, and the film remains a cornerstone of political cinema from the late '80s.

This 1988 MCA VHS release is the original U.S. home video edition—often found as a former rental, but still a compelling analog artifact for collectors of civil rights cinema, Attenborough’s directorial work, or early Denzel roles.
