Producer, director and documentarian Peter Davis became deeply
involved in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa 20
years ago. Davis has produced more than 30 full-length documentary
films on social and political issues, including South Africa:
the White Laager, a history of Afrikaner nationalism;
Generations of Resistance, an historic account of African
rebellion against white rule up to the student uprising of
1976; Winnie Mandela and Remember Mandela, which was
shown on the first day of the Democratic National Convention
in Atlanta in 1988. When Davis visited the Bloomington campus
in April, Patrick O’Meara, dean of international programs
at IU and a native South African, talked with him about South
Africa’s history and re-birth.
