Friends Filming Locations
France, in Western Europe, encompasses medieval cities, alpine villages and Mediterranean beaches. Paris, its capital, is famed for its fashion houses, classical art museums including the Louvre and monuments like the Eiffel Tower. The country is also renowned for its wines and sophisticated cuisine. Lascaux’s ancient cave drawings, Lyon’s Roman theater and the vast Palace of Versailles attest to its rich history.
Johannesburg, South Africa's biggest city and capital of Gauteng province, began as a 19th-century gold-mining settlement. Its sprawling Soweto township was once home to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Mandela’s former residence is now the Mandela House museum. Other Soweto museums that recount the struggle to end segregation include the somber Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill, a former prison complex.
Friends (1993)
At the end of the 1980s, three female friends share a house in Johannesburg, South Africa. Each has her own way to live with apartheid. Thoko is a Black teacher and practices non-violent passive-resistance. Aninka the Afrikaner takes refuge in archaeology to avoid reality. Sophie is a white militant who plants bombs in public places. Each respects the ideas of the other two, but one of Sophie's bombs will change everything.
