e'Lollipop (1975)
Director: Ashley Lazarus
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An all-stops-out tale of the undying friendship of two boys - one white, the other coloured - raised by a Catholic mission in a small South African village. The main message of the film is a liberal one about the need for tolerance and harmonious coexistence. More difficult to understand is the unquestioning attitude towards the American presence in South America. When the chips are down, it's US know-how and technology that saves the day.Author: CPe
