Last night U.S. television sports channel
ESPN premiered a short film on South Africa's Robben Island as part of its
Outside The Lines series.* Through interviews and footage of the country's most infamous prison, 'home' to revolutionary opponents of apartheid, the documentary charts the relationship of the formation of a prison soccer association to the crafting of the 1996
South African constitution - one based on both the rule of law and the practice of justice.
Robben Island: A Greater Goal RT: 18:37
WATCH [* "The series examines topical issues off the playing field. It includes interviews and opinions from leading authorities on the issue at hand. Hosted by veteran journalist Bob Ley, Outside the Lines has investigated trends and topics ranging from sports teams' hazing to the overseas labor practices of U.S. sneaker companies."
