You don't understand, Mr. Ben.
I don't want him to have a police record.

:06:06
It will be there for the rest of his life.
:06:08
It's such a minor matter. Let it go, Gordon.
:06:11
Here. Put that on his backside.
:06:16
I'm not worried about those wounds.
I know they'll get better.

:06:19
It's the wounds here.
These are the ones I worry about.

:06:24
There's nothing to be done.
:06:33
The cuts looked terrible, Pa.
:06:37
He must have done something.
:06:42
- What happened to him?
- The court sentenced him to a caning.

:06:47
These kids are going mad. Bloody savages.
:06:50
The only language they understand is force.
:06:52
I thought the idea was
to give them their own homelands.

:06:55
Let them live with their own kind.
No conflict then. Everybody's happy.

:06:59
Come on. Enough talk. Let's eat.
:07:06
I don't care what other parents are saying.
Now, listen to me.

:07:12
I tell you, no demonstrations.
Tomorrow you go to school.

:07:16
But there'll be nobody at school, Baba.
:07:18
Then you and Robert will be the only ones.
:07:21
What do I say to Mr. Ben?
:07:22
"Thank you for the school fees,
but my son doesn't want to learn"?

:07:26
Let Mr. Ben keep his white money
for his Boer education.

:07:29
We want to learn in English.
We don't want to learn Afrikaans.

:07:39
You don't understand, Baba.
:07:41
They don't want us to be really educated.
:07:44
If we learn in Afrikaans,
we have no future, Baba.

:07:49
They want us to be
messenger boys, mine boys...

:07:51
And garden boys like me.
:07:54
Yes, Baba.
:07:56
Everybody knows that you're a wise man.
:07:59
Everybody comes to ask your advice.
And they respect you.
