Goodbye Bafana (2007) is set in South Africa during 1968, a time when 25 million blacks were governed by a minority of 4 million whites under the harsh Apartheid regime of the Nationalist Party. Blacks faced severe restrictions, including no voting rights, land rights, freedom of movement, equitable commerce, housing, or education. The white government suppressed all black opposition organizations, forcing leaders into exile or imprisoning them, like Nelson Mandela, for life on Robben Island. James Gregory, a white Afrikaner, initially views blacks as inferior, despite his upbringing speaking their tribal tongue on a farm in the Transkei. His fluency in Xhosa makes him the perfect choice to oversee Nelson Mandela and his comrades at Robben Island, allowing him to spy on them undetected. However, Mandela's influence gradually opens Gregory's eyes to the injustices and crimes committed by his own people. Despite his wife's pleas to distance himself from the black cause, Gregory's loyalty shifts from the racist government to the fight for a free South Africa.
