Synopsis
Mary is a teacher who dares teach things which cannot be found in official school texts. She insists on teaching her pupils a sense of pride in their cultural heritage. With her energy Mary succeeds in awakening the political consciousness of the young Sarafina. The power of this new awareness will soon clash with the tenacious ignorance which governs school and the entire country.
