South Africa

Se nedenstående interview med Desmond Tutu og FW de Klerk. Steffen Kretz interviewer dem begge i programserien DE SKREV HISTORIE. Programmet beskrives som følger:

Afslutningen på Apartheid i Sydafrika har to ansigter - et sort og et hvidt. FW De Klerk var præsidenten, der opgav magten og lagde et brutalt regime i graven. Desmond Tutu var præsten, der påtog sig at finde sandheden om fortidens grusomheder. På den måde er de to mænds skæbne er uløseligt flettet sammen med Sydafrikas.
