There is no morality left but that of the tiger: brute force.

It is 1948.
The Afrikaaner Nationalists are poised to introduce the racist policy of apartheid into South Africa. Their plans include the conversion of District Six in Cape Town into an exclusively white residential disctrict, and the removal of its current residents. As profiteers and politicians converge upon this slum area, its threatened residents valiantly put up a fight. Into it is drawn Henry Naidoo, the highly principled yet gentle Indian lawyer, who realizes tragically that the struggle against apartheid is no ordinary fight for justice. It calls for a brutality he is not equipped with.
