An author has recounted how he risked torture to smuggle literature into South Africa that helped campaign against Apartheid.
The racist political system which governed South African life from 1948 to 1991 ensured privilege for white South Africans and saw the black population treated extremely harshly.
Ken Keable, from Stoke-sub-Hamdon in Somerset, was recruited to campaign on behalf of the African National Congress (ANC) and said: "The racism there was so hideous and so unjust, it couldn't last."
The book he wrote about his campaign has now been adapted into a film that is being screened in cinemas around the country.
