Samuel's parents and sister die in a bloody massacre. His brothers retaliate by joining the anti-aparthied movement, with guns and terrorism as thier weapons. But Sam decides to fight prejudice in his own way - as a runner. Against all odds, from a poor township childhood to the Bantu homelands, from work in a gold mine to competing for gold, he focuses his mind, body and heart on the long, hard race to freedom.
