Synopsis
In New Brighton, South Africa, 63-year-old librarian Sipho Makhaya is getting ready to receive the body of his brother Themba, recently deceased while in exile in London and a hero of the Anti-Apartheid Movement. Nothing but the Truth investigates the contrast between those blacks who remained in South Africa and risked their lives to lead the fight against apartheid and those who returned victoriously after living in exile.
