Bopha! (1993) is a powerful drama and Morgan Freeman’s directorial debut that follows Sergeant Micah Mangena (Danny Glover), a Black South African police officer who believes he’s upholding justice—only to face a profound moral crisis as his teenage son joins the anti-apartheid movement. Set during the oppressive apartheid era, the film explores the tension between father and son, loyalty and conscience, and the corrosive impact of institutional violence.
