Afrikaner Gerrit Wolfaardt was born into prejudice. Everything he had been taught since childhood-from his family, his church and his culture-told him that apartheid, or separateness, was right and natural. He became a self-proclaimed disciple of Hitler, and hatched a diabolical plan to rid South Africa of the 'Black Danger'. His ideology was challenged by Celeste, who later became his wife, and by the book Cry the beloved country. In this documentary, Gerrit shares the amazing journey that resulted in his radical transformation.

"The indoctrination of Garrit is complete. Under the eye of prominent members of the government and military, he develops a diabolical plan to rid South Africa of its "black danger". Then he meets two people who change his life: Celeste, an open-minded college student and Peter, a pastor who challenges Gerrit's prejudice. When he realizes that he is wrong, he seeks reconciliation between whites and blacks. In this documentary, Gerrit shares the amazing journey that resulted in his radical transformation. Also included are scenes from Final Solution, a feature film based on his life, which the library also has."
