    An Intriguing follow up documentary to his first one on this subject .

    Eugene Terre' Blanche is a scary man..the leader of the DWB.

    folowing up on his role in the white supremacy movement in Africa 14 years after his original documentary(His leader,His driver and the drivers wife) on the subject.

    Nick Broomfield re visits Africa to see if things have changed. It seems after 14 years the movement has not gone exactly to the original plan of the DWB. Even down to trying to re interview Eugene Terre' Blanche after his release from prison Using a disguise to try and not be identified as the person who really didn't get along with Eugene Terre' Blanche after their last interview when arriving five minutes late.

    Nick Broomfield in my eyes is an extremely brave man to broached a subject like this and certainly braver than many to try to interview many of the members of this group.

    Brilliant watch highly recommend.

  • Great inside view on South African white radicals/terrorists

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer , 13 Apr 2013
    It is scary how racism is still so big in some minds in South Africa, even after 2000.. The documentary combines cleverly different time slices (1990th to 2000ths) with historical information on the development of South Africa in the last 60 years. Furthermore, it shows the story of the end of the Apartheijt critically (meaning against) the view of radicals and white terrorists. Very interesting picture of South Africa, but sadly very shocking..
