Close encounters of an old kind

SABC1 put out a series of documentary briefs last November for its 2004/05 seasons. <i>Family, War Stories, Sex and Secrecy</i>, and <i>Black on White</i> were the titles of the briefs. The brief is clearly not about empowerment, it is rather a patronising and alienating document and its authors assume that there are no accomplished black South African filmmakers.
