Tells the story of the adoption of the South African Freedom Charter on June 26, 1955,
when over 3,000 delegates from every corner of South Africa gathered at Kliptown, near
Johannesburg, at the Congress of the People where the Charter, a blueprint for a future
non-racial and democratic South Africa, was unanimously adopted. The video includes
documentary footage and photos of the historic Congress as well as the government's
