Director:Dan Jawitz / Alberto Iannuzzi

Summary:

This film is made up of images of South Africa, its nature, people and cities, without comment, edited to the hypnotic mujsic of the Cape Town-based musician Campbell Burns. Short and long shots, slowed down and accelerated, close-ups and vistas; collectively they give a kaleidoscopic impression of the country, more than a decade after the official end of Apartheid. The film moves from one individual to the next, showing all races and classes: from a begging white man to a rich black man.

Determined to find out what white identity means to whites – and why social segregation remains important – Desai strikes out on a road trip across South Africa with a light spirit and an enquiring mind. His mission: to find and talk to those white South Africans who are so terrified of being swamped by Africa that they purposely isolated themselves from all races in a town called Orania. From the very onset, until he is standing next to the sculpture of a in the heart of Orania, Desai gently challenges the ordinary whites he meets, be they English middle-class or Afrikaans farmers.
