New Acquisition Highlight: '1994: The Bloody Miracle' and 'Forerunners'

Filmmaker Bert Haitsma kindly donated copies of two South African documentaries to the ASC Library: 1994: The Bloody Miracle, directed by Meg Rickards and Bert Haitsma, and Forerunners: South Africa's new middle class, directed by Simon Wood. The first film reveals the plans for a military coup and  a plot to kidnap Mandela and the new leaders-in-waiting in the run-up to the first free elections in 1994. The second film is about the first generation of black South Africans to join the country's middle class. The films are the subject of our latest Acquisition Highlight!
