Synopsis
Acclaimed and controversial documentary maker, Paul Watson ventures into dangerous territory with this two-part series on contemporary South Africa. From the surface calm of Radio Station 702, to the overstretched police departments, from the meetings of extreme right-wingers to the bloody and chaotic hospitals in the black areas, Watson lifts the lid on South Africa’s fledgling democracy.
Featuring interviews with the security forces, doctors, neo-nazis and Eugene Terre Blanche, White Lives conjures up an alarming vision of the ‘new’ South Africa. If you thought apartheid ended five years ago, think again. In the second of the two programmes, Watson tracks down three young car hijackers who admit killing more people than they can remember with guns given to them by the police
