- Synopsis
- PK, an English orphan terrorized for his family’s political beliefs in Africa, turns to his only friend, a kindly world-wise prisoner, Geel Piet. Geel teaches him how to box with the motto “fight with your fists and lead with your heart”. As he grows to manhood, PK uses these words to take on the system and the injustices he sees around him – and finds that one person really can make a difference.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"An earnest, ponderous epic that tries desperately to say Something Important about disenfranchised blacks and their Afrikaans oppressors, but never does."
-
"It would have taken another director and a better script to make this movie into the serious, full-blooded epic it wants to be. But 'Power of One' succeeds in entertaining and getting audiences to think about the tragedy of apartheid"
-
"Despite promising opening sequences and some above-average performances from a trio of young actors, the film's points become more elusive as its technique becomes more blunt"
-
"Crude, patronising and mawkish, but rescued by excellent performances, beautiful landscape photography, and hard-to-argue-with themes of natural justice, delivered with a punch"
