Apartheid Part I: 1652-1948 Frontline : Season 6 Episode 1
Not Rated PBS 1h 00m
Aired: January 26th, 1988 @ 9:00 PM EST on PBS
Many white South Africans claim that the entire country is theirs by right. No black man, they say, occupied South Africa before the first tiny Dutch settlement in 1652. Part 1 refutes this claim and traces the country’s colonial history, the emergence early in the 20th century of the African National Congress, the rise to power of Afrikaner nationalists, and the formal policy of apartheid.
