Movie Haiku:Full Title = "Soft Vengeance: Albie Sachs & the New South Africa." Sachs, a Jewish man from a Lithuanian immigrant family, was a key player in the anti-apartheid movement. After he helped draft the post-apartheid Constitution, Mandela appointed him to the Constitutional Court where he played a critical role in the Truth & Reconciliation process. Alas as a doc, tho, this is a bit dry. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH
