| This is how you sell Apartheid. Although Apartheid has officially ended in South Africa, it is remembered fondly by a large number of Whites, both within and without Africa. If you can stomach the smarmy narrator, this is the masterwork of a young Canadian woman who is best described by most of her critics as 'far-right' or 'alt-right' - she rejects only the second of those - and I think more accurately described as a dangerous blithering idiot. This Wikipedia entry is much kinder to her than it should be. Apparently, Ms Southern doesn't see the conflict or irony in standing as a candidate for Canada's Parliament (2015) and her declaration that "women are not psychologically developed to hold leadership positions." This is the kind of clear thinking that informs this documentary. This attempt to induce pity for the South African white community, so sadly deprived of their right to the divine rule they knew only a few years ago, is an excellent example of misleading and racist journalism. The comments that appear below the YouTube listing for the documentary speak volumes about the 'journalist' and her intended audience. [While I make no claim to be an expert on the subject, I did have the task while at school of defending South Africa's racial policies in a 'mock UN debate'. This is exactly the kind of tactics I used to convince my audience (and, unfortunately, I succeeded!) that those damn Blacks would all starve to death without the benevolence of Apartheid.] - prh, ed.
