STOPPING THE MUSIC

A South African protest singer and the police spy assigned to stop his career meet face to face…
This unique meeting is documented in the documentary 'Stopping the Music', which will be screened at Womex, Friday 25th October.

'Stopping the Music' is the story of a South African protest singer and the security branch police man assigned to put an end to his career. The singer Roger Lucey was considered a menace to society by the increasingly brutal apartheid regime of the 80s and thus had to be destroyed. Paul Erasmus gladly took on the job of stopping the 'communist' Lucey'.

The documentary is financed by the international human rights organization, Freemuse.
'Stopping the Music' was world premiered at the recent 2nd World Conference on Music and Censorship in Copenhagen.
