WHEN it comes to student activism in South Africa, it was the decolonising #RhodesMustFall movement originating at the University of Cape Town in 2015-16 that caught the attention of the left and the media in Britain.
This powerful new documentary from Rehad Desai touches on these influential protests, but the central focus of the film is the lesser-known #FeesMustFall student movement at the University of Witwatersrand.
