For 46 years, South Africans lived under Apartheid, a strict policy of segregation that barred the country’s Black majority from skilled, high-paying jobs, quality education, voting, and much more. So, how did these laws come to be? And how did this era of institutionalized discrimination finally come to an end? Thula Simpson explores how colonization led to the national trauma of Apartheid. [Directed by Aya Marzouk, Giraffics, narrated by Safia Elhillo, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
