The Welsh People’s Release of the award-winning documentary Comrade Tambo’s London Recruits has been met with tremendous excitement and enthusiasm, and it’s easy to see why. This powerful film, directed by Welsh filmmaker Gordon Main, shines a light on one of the lesser-known yet extraordinary stories of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa—a story of courage, solidarity, and secrecy that remained hidden for over 40 years.
The gripping documentary recounts how young activists from London were secretly recruited by the African National Congress (ANC) in the 1970s to support the underground fight against apartheid. Facing immense personal risk, these recruits played a critical role in sustaining the ANC’s message and resistance efforts during a time of brutal oppression. Through interviews, archival footage, and personal accounts, Comrade Tambo’s London Recruits offers a poignant glimpse into a story of international solidarity and hidden heroism that continues to resonate today.
