Transcript
00:00Our policy is called Apartheid, and I'm afraid that has been misunderstood so often.
00:08It could much better be described as a policy of good neighbourliness.
00:17Yeah, so I am a grandson of Dr. H. Efferwoord, the architect of Apartheid.
00:24South Africa is...
00:25You know, unequal, unequal, unequal society in the world.
00:28Of course it's the highest.
00:30This is not poverty that fell from the sky.
00:33Your racial identity determined your worth as a human being.
00:37And eventually they declared black South Africans are not South Africans.
00:42It doesn't matter that I was born here, my parents are here.
00:46You are treated as a foreigner in your own country of birth.
00:51It was social engineering par excellence.
00:54They make you feel that you are not exactly human.
00:57The Apartheid state was very much in control.
01:00What do you think about it?
01:01I can't very well say what I would like to say.
01:03Opposition was very effectively suppressed.
01:0669 people shot dead, mostly in the back.
01:10That can either make you cry, or it can make you so outraged that you want to break things.
01:16As this oppression intensified, it started bubbling up to the surface.
01:24We will not talk to these people.
01:25We will fight them.
01:27That's what you get for being loyal to the Empire.
01:30They will not stop us.
01:33Something in it lit a spark.
01:35As long as a burning exists, we will march.
01:38They thought the more we kill them, the more they will back down.
01:44And it always worked the other way around.
01:48We are going to be free.
01:51All of us.
01:53I'm indicated in depriving people of their humanity.
01:58How do you sit with that emotionally and morally?
02:01I need to make a battle now.
02:06I don't know why.
02:14I need to make the battle now.
02:19We walk with that, individually.
02:20I want to give space we get better.
02:21I've seen this.
02:21We'll be right back in this.
02:22We go.
02:23We go.
02:23I need to make the battle tomorrow.
02:24I want to give space we go to our humanity.
02:24We are going to give space we go.
02:25We need to make our ability.
02:26We do drive space we go to our humanity.
02:27We're going to make our society.
02:28We go.
02:28All of us.
02:29We go.
02:30We're going to give space.
02:30We're going to be around.
02:31See our little animal is a story.
