dir: Phillip Noyce [img_assist|nid=866|title=We both have our serious faces on. After all, we are expecting Oscars.|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=300|height=450] There were a number of reasons to be dubious about this flick.

Oct 13, 2006 · ... Catch a Fire that's opening across the country. It's about Apartheid South Africa and a man named Patrick Chamusso, based on a true story.
Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins joins us to talk about his new film, “Catch a Fire.” The movie tells the story of black South African freedom-fighter Patrick Chamusso. It depicts life under apartheid rule — a regime where torture and indefinite detention were commonplace for most of the population and the label terrorist was applied to those seeking to end apartheid and bring democracy to the country. We’re also joined by the film’s producer, Robyn Slovo, the the daughter of anti-apartheid activists Ruth First and Joe Slovo. [includes rush transcript]
