A film report by Trevor Philpott
The blacks of South Africa have been promised their own television service to be run by blacks for blacks - but not until 1980.
This film was shot entirely in Soweto, the largest of the black townships. It looks at the way the blacks there entertain themselves, at the kind of black talent hidden in the township's streets, and shows the sort of programmes that they would like to see when they get their own television channel.
This is a film which now stands in the nature of a historical document. The Philpott File team spent two months in Soweto before the riots of January 1976 which altered the political spirit of that troubled township beyond recall.
