AKA "Forever Young, Forever Free"
"e'Lollipop" is the extraordinary tale of two inseparable South African child-
are tragically killed in a car crash in the Lesotho mountains. Jannie is sent
to a missionary station in Tsepo's village, where they become best friends.
Together with their dog, Sugarball, life is full of childhood fun and antics
until tragedy strikes again: Jannie is seriously injured when one of their
games goes horribly wrong. Tsepo and his community pull together so that
Jannie can receive emergency medical treatment. A daunting challenge lies
Tsepo and Jannie's inspirational story unfolds against the breathtaking back-
drops of a dramatic African landscape and New York City in the mid-1970's.
"e'Lollipop" is a life-changing story that reminds us of the true value of
friendship, family, community and sacrifice - despite color or creed.
"e'Lollipop" is a true South African classic of international stature that
transcended the Apartheid boundaries of its day.
First released in 1976, this extraordinary motion picture story of two South
African boys and their dog touched the hearts of audiences around the world.
Despite the fear, hatred and brutality that plagued South Africa in the mid-
1970's, "e'Lollipop" told a story of friendship and commitment that trans-
cended racial boundaries. After nearly being banned in South Africa under
Apartheid, it went on to become a cult classic. Shot in Southern Africa,
Lesotho and New York City, "e'Lollipop" was seen in over 40 countries and
starred local and international talent including the late Ken Gampu, Oscar-
Valentine.

Zaphod Mumbled in a former Incarnation:
I've downloaded various TV- VHS- and DVD-Rips of this film over the years, but
never got around to watching any of them (story of my life, right?). Well,
all that changed today (2016-09-23), when I reached into my mailbox and pulled
out the TeleVista DVD. It isn't quite the cover that I wanted, but I can live
nice (though small) screencaps on the reverse, and eye-catching colors
overall.
But the real content is in the movie, of course, and after viewing it, I
really have to say, I wish I hadn't waited so long! It was quite enjoyable,
with moments of laughter at the antics of these two --putting a giant frog in
the outhouse for the sister of the mission to discover-- then getting spanked
by the priest for it, and going to the witch doctor to get 'healed' (his
'magic cure' was to rub some Vick's Salve on their bottoms :-P ), harrowing
scenes watching young Jannie going end-over-end down a mountainside inside a
truck tire, and there were quite a few tears shed at a tragedy that I won't
disclose in case you haven't seen the movie, yet.
Both boys were very cute, with Norman Knox's mischievous expressions and Muntu
Ndebele's smile lighting up the screen. All in all, this is a movie that you
won't regret downloading and watching, and I know I'll be returning to it
again at least a couple more times before I croak :)
The DVD cover (and Amazon.co.uk) mistakenly identifies this as being a PAL
disc, when in reality it is NTSC...
I bought it thinking that I might luck out and get a better-quality print than
the one on the TeleVista version that I had, but, alas, when it arrived and I
popped it in the drive, it turned out to be the very same print, just with a
different cover.
Ah, well, at least I have two different DVD covers to share with you :)
