Nick Broomfield - His Big White Self Revisited
The aftermath of "The Leader..." was deadly serious for all concerned. The final days of Apartheid led to the nominal defeat of the white right as the ANC came to power. More crucially, Eugene Terreblanche, facing certain incarceration and national ridicule, had no doubt bid his followers to implement the numerous death and bomb threats that Broomfield was subjected to in the months that followed the film's release in 1991. Never thinking in his worst nightmares that 14 years later he would feel compelled to track down 'His Big White Self', of course, Broomfield did just that.

Were we really scared of Eugene Terre Blache?
As south african apartheid collapsed in the early 1990's, there was the fear that the crack Boer stormtroopers of the AWB would disrupt the country in the same way the ANC had done. You needn't have worried, this documentary shows the white extremists as more Dads Army than Deaths Head Battalion. Terre Blanche, while charismatic appears to have his head too far up his own posterior to be effective.
The funniest parts (which make it worth hiring)are provided by the drivers wife explaining why her cat is called 'Kaffir', and the local town bosses trying to tell a sexist joke to Nick, the director. He doesn't get the punchline. Nor for that matter did I. -
