‘London Recruits’ Lifts the Lid on True Story of Courageous British Volunteers in Fight Against Apartheid (EXCLUSIVE)
'London Recruits' tells the true story of how British working-class volunteers traveled to South Africa to detonate pamphlet bombs during Apartheid.
The fascinating story has been made into a thrilling documentary by director Gordon Main, “London Recruits,” featuring interviews with those who went, interspersed with Super 8 archive footage and dramatic reenactments. The result is an edge-of-your-seat documentary thriller set in the early 1970s, blending elements of espionage, courage, sacrifice and jaw-dropping twists, complete with false-bottom suitcases full of pamphlets. Main said the production wanted to stay away from traditional archive film footage and asked expats in the U.K. and people in South Africa who had Super 8 that they’d shot of any stuff in the late 60s and early 70s.
