Includes newsreel footage of violence in South Africa and interviews with producers, directors, screenwriters, authors and actors who expound upon films they have been instrumental in producing which explored the conditions of black South Africans.

"During much of the period of apartheid in South Africa (1948-1990), the cinema largely ignored this issue. Notable exceptions were Cry, the beloved country, and Come back, Africa. It was only after the Soweto Uprising of 1976, when unarmed students braved the guns of the police, that Hollywood began to pay attention and made such films as Cry freedom and Dry white season. Inside South Africa, film production and distribution were severely censored, until very recently. This video set examines the role of cinema in both supporting and attacking apartheid. It questions Hollywood's commitment to racial stereotypes and reluctance to depict black heroes. Among those appearing are: Lewis Nkosi, Zakes Mokae, Sir Richard Attenborough, Lionel Rogosin, Thomas Mogotlane, Andre Brink, Euzhan Palcy."
