In 1995, I was blessed with the opportunity to go to South Africa for two months, to teach radio journalism workshops and to co-produce, with talented local producers, two documentaries about life life under apartheid.
The Knock at the Door is about the forced removals of “colored” families from their homes in a district that the whites found desirable.
Soldiers introduces listeners to the members of the army on both sides of the apartheid divide: fighters for the African National Congress and the South African National Defence Force.
