Apartheid Did Not Die

“Apartheid Did Not Die” is a powerful and thought-provoking documentary that delves into the ongoing economic injustices in South Africa, highlighting the ways in which the system of apartheid, despite being outlawed, continues to thrive under the guise of a “free market.”

Director John Pilger, who was banned from South Africa for his reporting during the apartheid era, returns to the country with Alan Lowery to examine the ways in which the exploitation and oppression of black South Africans persist to this day. The film exposes the role of major corporations in maintaining an economic system that prioritizes profit over people and allows a small minority to control the vast majority of the country’s wealth and resources.

“Apartheid Did Not Die” is a call to action, urging viewers to consider their own role in perpetuating systems of oppression and to take steps to dismantle them. Through powerful storytelling and incisive commentary, the film challenges us to question the true beneficiaries of a supposed democracy and to take action to create a truly just society.
