Director: Lionel Rogosin

Cast: Zachria Makeba, Miriam Makeba, Vinah Makeba, Molly Parkin

Synopsis: New print of what is now a classic ‘docu-fictie’ provides a unique picture of South Africa in the 1950s, made at that time under great pressure of time with non-professional actors and without permission from the authorities. Zacharia is a worker without a work permit and therefore falls victim to exploitation, sudden dismissal and arrest.
