Gordon Main’s documentary-thriller tells the story of  an international group of students and workers living in London who answered Oliver Tambo’s secret call for undercover agents at the height of apartheid.

In the late 1960s and early ‘70s, at the height of apartheid, an international group of students and workers living in London answered Oliver Tambo’s secret call for undercover agents. This film tells the story of the young men and women who risked all to bring Oliver Tambo’s message of hope to his embattled people in South Africa. Gordon Main’s documentary-thriller is a potent mix of never before seen archive footage, action packed drama and candid testimony from the recruits, eyewitnesses and secret police.

Filmmaker Gordon Main and 'London Recruit' activist Steve Marsling join us for a Q&A following the film hosted by Dr. Zoe Groves, lecturer in Modern Global, Colonial, and Postcolonial History at University of Leicester.
