Summary:

Six ordinary black civilians were caught in a mob and were accused of murdering the deputy mayor in Sharpville township, South Africa in 1984. This documentary shows how these Sharpville six suffered and nearly died for something didn't do. Just hours away from hanging, their case was overturned and they were saved. Though they were freed finally, their lives permanently changed due to the stigma of the murder conviction and subsequent difficulties finding work and getting respect from others.
