Review of Long Night's Journey Into Day

This is an exceptionally well-done and thoughtful documentary on the aftermath of apartheid in South Africa and the rather different "war crimes" tribunel approach they took in South Africa. While I was disappointed that they didn't touch on black-on-black attacks (anyone who's ever seen the end result of "the necklace"-even on film-won't ever forget), it was a very good and even-handed presentation. I could not write a comment here without getting this off my chest, though: POSSIBLE SPOILER- In my opinion, there isn't any difference materially between Eric Taylor-white SA police officer who killed a black SA man unlawfully-and Robert McBride-black SA who admits to planting a bomb outside a club that killed three women. That they are treated quite differently by the tribunal in their respective amnesty applications is therefore disturbing, although the reasons are obvious and I do not think the tribunal played favorites in any way. Most Recommended.
