| − | ==The film==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The film has been described as South Africa's first political thriller and at the time was regarded as critical of the apartheid system and faced censorship by the authorities.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It tells the story of a shadowy [[Afrikaner]] nationalist organisation - not so named but strongly suggesting the [[Afrikaner Broederbond]][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaner_Broederbond] (i.e. "Afrikaner brotherhood") and its search for a new director. The board members of the organisation delve into the past of a candidate director whom they are interviewing, and rip it apart in the process. This is a stunning depiction of the deceit and prejudices of power, the liberal and conservative divisions in Afrikaner politics and the ambivalent class position of mixed-race Afrikaners.
