Abstract

"A documentary series about truth and reconciliation in Southern Africa. Filmmakers from four countries show how people are dealing with the need to reconcile themselves to the violent past each country has recently emerged from."--Containers. The video on Mozambique shows how people in a small village are working towards reconciliation following the civil war. The video on Namibia looks at the question of reconciliation faced by victims of war crimes committed by members of the national liberation movement. The video on South Africa features a dialogue between an Afrikaans woman who has reported on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, and an African woman who has been a victim of the Apartheid system. The video on Zimbabwe deals with the massacres carried out after independence.
