Marginal Lives and Painful Pasts: South African Cinema After Apartheid

In the first part of the book Martin Botha gives a wide-ranging historical outline of the South African film industry and makes due reference to filmmakers like Ross Devenish, Jans Rautenbach and Manie van Rensburg, whose films bravely addressed many controversial social and cultural issues of the time. Botha's lucid treatment of a variety of historical matters, from film finance to the White Paper on South African Cinema, and his ability to link together the political, historical and economic strands of film history produces a very engaging outline of the country's film industry.
