"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."
This is extraordinary, powerful radio. Presented without narration and interwoven with historical broadcasts, the main players in the struggle against apartheid unravel the story in their own words.
The only disadvantage of choosing to work without narration is these authoritative and moving voices remain anonymous to those not initimately familiar the details of recent South African history.
Regardless, this is a masterfully crafted piece of work.
