About The Film
Filmed in Cape Town, 13 November 2003. Unedited interview with Myrtle Berman, an anti-apartheid activist, founder of the African Resistance Movement (ARM) in South Africa — the first group to launch a sabotage campaign in 1961 against the apartheid state. She also played a racist white ”madam“ in the classic 1959 anti-apartheid film by Lionel Rogosin, Come Back, Africa. In this interview, Berman talks about Rogosin, his 1956 film On The Bowery, her activism, arrest and more. Part of a series of unedited interviews with South African (and some American) writers, journalists and activists made in the late ‘80s, discussing the subject of censorship, films, journalism and more.
