Sarafina! is a 1992 movie based on Mbongeni Ngema's 1987 musical of the same name, which tells the story of students and their families involved in the 1976 Soweto Uprising against the implementation of Afrikaans as the language of instruction in schools. The film stars Leleti Khumalo, Miriam Makeba, John Kani, Ngema, and Whoopi Goldberg; Khumalo reprises her role from the stage performance.
