It's 1984, and in Dublin, Ireland, 21 year old shop assistant
Mary Manning refuses to sell a South African grapefruit. Her
action draws world attention to the campaign to hit Apartheid
where it hurts, by crippling the South African economy. At the
same time a young Australian seaman starts a global ban on
shipping oil to South Africa.

How South Africans won their freedom from the racist Apartheid
regime, and the Australians who helped them fight for it.
