Eugene Terre'Blanche

A follow-up to "The Leader, His Driver, and the Driver's Wife", about the history of the far-right group AWB and its leader Eugene Terre'Blanche.

Un documentaire qui raconte la vie du leader sud-africain Nelson Mandela. Mandela est probablement mieux connu pour ses 27 ans d'emprisonnement, et pour mettre fin à l'apartheid. Mais ce film met aussi en lumière le première période méconnue de la vie de Mandela

A provocative look from within at Afrikaner extremists who, in 1991, clung to the belief that they were the chosen ‘super race’ of Africa. With the demise of white rule, many of these Boers lived in fear. Some had banded into paramilitary groups, such as Eugene Terre’Blanche’s Afrikaner Resistance Movement, which claimed wide support within the South African army and police. They were preparing for an armed showdown with the new government.

From award-winning director Nick Broomfield, The Leader, His Driver, and the Driver's Wife documents Broomfield's efforts to interview Eugene Terre'Blanche, leader of the sinister neo-nazi AWB Afrikaner Party in South Africa. Cameras capture awkward interactions with skittish AWB supporters, combat training of militant youth, and the coveted interview itself. Broomfield's access to these events is made possible by the leader's driver, whose wavering allegiance to the movement is explored as well.
