2: A Band of Brothers
At the very heart of Afrikanerdom is a secret society of which virtually nothing is known outside South Africa. It's called the Broederbond. or brotherhood. Its 12,000 members operate in the shadows, dedicated to keeping the Afrikaner in the position of power he holds today and which they have helped secure.
The film tells the story of the Broederbond and with it the rise of the Afrikaner Nationalists. It's the story of the bitter legacy of the Anglo-Boer War when thousands of women and children died in the British concentration camps: the story of the discrimination Afrikaners faced when they sought work in the British-run cities. But will it, as some Afrikaners believe, because of its exclusiveness, now lead to the destruction of the very people it set out to protect?

Charles Bronson, Jan Michael Vincent.

Arthur Bishop is a professional killer: in underworld jargon 'a mechanic'. Methodically, almost artistically, he murders people for money - always working alone. Until, that is, he becomes involved with the son of a friend and now a victim. In the handsome and athletic Steve, Bishop sees a reflection of his own determination and ruthlessness. It is, however, a relationship that invites danger and death.
