A Short Break in the Interference
There's a revolution going on in South African television.
Instead of an unqualified diet of pro-government coverage there are moves towards objective news and documentaries that challenge status quo assumptions, with some top-rated shows presented by blacks.
What role will television play in the new South Africa? Will the ANC simply replace the old white monopoly with a black one?
Campaigning white journalist Donald Woods , who fell foul of the old regime in particular because of his friendship with the black activist Steve Biko , seeks the answers. Producer Carla Garapedian Editor Glynn Jones
