'This story is told by voices, voices that carried the weight of a nation's pain and dreams. The eroded hands of resistance. The whispered prayers of mothers who waited at windows for sons who never returned. The resolute voices of the angry youth chanting liberation songs in townships heavy with smoke, fear, and resolve.'
