Bopha is a 1993 American drama film the directorial debut of Morgan Freeman, and stars Danny Glover. It was adapted from a 1986 play of the same name.
His son, Zweli Mangena is in a difficult position Micah wants him to become a policeman and follow his example. Zweli loves his father, but has doubts about whether it is right to follow in his fathers footsteps.Wider events are barely seen, though they obviously have an influence. In 1986, when the play was written, Nelson Mandela was still in prison. By 1993, when the film was released, he was free but the future was still very uncertain. Bopha says little about such matters. This is a conflict in a small township involving people of which the outside world would not have heard. ........
