- DirectorYolande ZaubermanAbout people who lived thru the reclassification and relocation of 'black' and 'white' people in South Africa. Mainly featuring the story of a man who was reclassified as 'black' after having been married to and fathered children with a 'white' woman. Forced into living in the camps of Soweto he remarried to a 'black' woman. His unpleasant 'white' sons come to visit. Another person interviewed won't visit his brothers for fear that his appearance might make the neighbors suspicious. You can resist all you want, but if a couple of 'white' people have decided you're 'black' - there's little you can do. You'll have to go to court in a process that takes so terribly long and is so difficult - that you might as well go with being classified 'black' and at least join a community of people who will accept you as a human being.
