Sotto il brutale regime dell'apartheid in Sudafrica, l'attivista nero Steve Biko lavora instancabilmente da anni per indebolire il sistema quando incontra il giornalista bianco Donald Woods. Inizialmente sospettoso di Biko e delle sue motivazioni, Woods si ritrova unito a Biko in una causa comune dopo che Biko gli rivela la vera portata delle atrocità della polizia nelle township nere. E quando la tragedia colpisce, il potente legame che si è forgiato tra loro porta Woods a prendere una posizione coraggiosa in favore del suo amico, rischiando tutto per denunciare gli orrori di questo regime omicida.
