Watch the following documentary entitled Voices of Sarafina (link below) and answer the list of questions below.  Before ‘Sarafina’ was a movie, it was a stage play.  Sarafina! premiered on Broadway on 28 January 1988, at the Cort Theatre in New York City and closed on 2 July 1989, after 597 performances and 11 previews. I think you will find it very interesting!
