The Long, Hot Summer Days

on BBC Television

An impression of summer days in the South African countryside, where life is dominated by the idea of apartheid and the average white man's attitude to his African workers is summed up in the words 'We are treating them very well up to their standards'. Life is feudal and apparently peaceful, but throughout the long, hot summer days there is the sense of an impending storm of great violence.
This is a composite programme made from two films already shown on BBC Television last April in the 'Wind of Change' series
