Film Description: Thirty years after the fall of apartheid, South Africa remains the most unequal country in the world. From South African filmmaker Tara Moore comes a landmark documentary that reveals the deep-rooted forces of inequality still shaping the nation today. With unprecedented access, the film follows the grandson of the so-called ‘Architect of Apartheid’ as he grapples with his family’s role in one of history’s most brutal regimes. His deeply personal reckoning exposes apartheid’s endurance today, both systemically and psychologically. This powerful exploration of South Africa’s enduring legacy of racial domination speaks to the global structures of inequality shaping the world today.
