South Africa has undergone significant changes in the two decades since its first free and fully democratic elections. In order to explore how life has changed for both white and black communities in this post-apartheid era, documentary filmmaker Reggie Yates travelled to three different locations across South Africa for his documentary.
In examining the lives of both the white and black communities, Yates uncovers a variety of unique perspectives on how the country is adapting to an interlinked world after years of racial segregation. With interviews from both ordinary citizens and prominent figures such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he paints a vivid picture of a nation attempting to forge a new identity out of its turbulent history.
The documentary offers viewers an intimate look into the varied experiences of everyday South Africans, providing insight into their struggles with issues such as poverty, inequality and racism. Through this lens, viewers are invited to reflect on how far South Africa has come since 1994 and what more needs to be done in order to make sure that all its citizens enjoy equal opportunities for success.
Yates’ documentary provides a captivating exploration of South African life today.
