A cinematic flow of events pictures a 15-year-old teen-aged girl and her friend who became involved in a dangerous resistance to the forced removal of everyone in their village to a remote, barren "homeland." This fictional picture of contemporary black South African youth who become politicized by realities of apartheid is a sequel to JOURNEY TO JO'BURG. (Age 12 and older)

The South African government is forcing Naledi an the other villagers to move to a new location: a "homeland" of iron huts and barren soil. And it seems that no one is willing to resist.

No one, that is, except Naledi's friend Taolo, whose family has often spoken out against apartheid. Taolo gives Naledi the strength to fight, and with his help, she and her schoolmates organize an anti-removal march through the village. But the right of free expression is not a liberty granted to the young protesters, and the police instigate a reign of terror on the villagers. Naledi and Taolo's chain of fiery resistance cannot be broken, though. With each new crisis, it grows ever stronger and burns ever brighter.
