A series of highly personal documentaries that trace the process of change in South Africa through the eyes of six individuals.
This week, journalist Ayesha Ismail covers the dramatic events leading up to recent political developments: the protests, killings and funerals. She questions her ability to report objectively when faced with the realities of apartheid and working under press restrictions. As a Muslim married to a Christian, she also examines the racial and religious differences that affect her life in South Africa.
