London Recruits Film

The anti-apartheid struggle has a new secret weapon.

Oliver Tambo has a daring plan to infiltrate young, British activists into 1970s Apartheid South Africa posing as tourists. Their mission, in the face of brutal lockdown by the racist regime, is to help inspire ordinary South Africans to join the liberation movement.

London Recruits tells the story of the young women and men who answered Tambo’s call.

This is a private, invitation only preview screening of London Recruits (general release 2024) and Q&A with the filmmakers and original London Recruits, in collaboration with Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory & Learning for Camden’s learner community.
