Connie Field's documentary on apartheid and its defeat is a triumph of maximalist filmmaking. Go to Full Review Keith Uhlich Time Out 04/14/2010

01/30/2012 This is one of the most engrossing documentaries I've ever watched, and I watch many documentaries. It is moving, and it open your eyes to a nasty period of history. See more 08/28/2010 (only the first 3 episodes) See more 04/16/2010 watch this movie online free at Movies27.net See more 04/11/2010 Kind of boring if you don't care for educational programming, but if you are looking for some good info on the subject of segregation, and South Africa, and stuff this is the place, it's better than reading I guess.
