Local Producer/Director Carolyn Projansky and Co-Producer/Writer Susan Barocas bring excerpts from their documentary project about white resistance to apartheid in South Africa . By focusing on four individuals, two of whom are Jewish, the filmmakers plan to trace both the history of the resistance from its founding and debate the tactics that best bring about massive social change during times of oppression. Interestingly, in that debate the two Jewish subjects occupy opposite ends of the spectrum. Helen Suzman, sought to challenge apartheid through legal reform. Ronnie Kasrils sought to overthrow the regime through violence, taking up arms and joining the African National Congress in exile.

Join us as we look at excerpts from the current production and discuss the many technical, artistic and financial obstacles that documentary filmmakers face on the road from idea to finished film.
