Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
Zani is returing to the Charterston township after an education in Swaziland in December of 1989. He runs into an old teacher, Zamani, who regularly beats his wife and once raped Zani's sister. Before he gave up his ideals for a life of debauchery and drink, Zamani was a political activist. Through Zani's inspiration, Zamani's old courage returns and he stands up for his principles again when an Afrikaner threatens to beat up an old man.
