How do film aspects show meaning in John,G Avildsen's film "The Power of One"?

S: In the concert scene, we hear native South Africans sing a song in their language that was written by P.K. the main character.

E: The joy was lead by a native singer and the rest of the tribes sung harmoniously , whilst Doc played the piano and P.K. composed the music.

X: The song made the audience feel hopeful and it was moving. This was because P.K. - through the singing - brought the tribes together.

X: The purpose of this was to help show that P.K. was the mythical figure of the Rain-Maker.

X; The singing combined with long shots also shows the harmony of the natives as they are all sitting nicely together.

Y: The singing can be compared to the singing at the boxing match, as the now freed natives sing to P.K. to show him they think he is the Rain-Maker. Both lots of singing give a sense of hope for the native South Africans.

Final paragraph:
