This is an unflinching look at the #FeesMustFall student movement that burst onto the South African political landscape in 2015 as a protest over the cost of education. It morphed into the most militant national revolt since the country's first democratic elections in 1994. The story is told by four student leaders at Wits University and their Vice Chancellor, Adam Habib, a left-wing, former anti-apartheid student activist. When Habib's efforts to contain the protest fail, he brings 1,000 police on to campus. One young leader is arrested and charged with serious offenses, another is shot 13 times with rubber-coated bullets; others, fearing the involvement of the state security agencies, go into hiding.
