Legacy: Apartheid’s Shadow Film Screening

This event will take place at Kulynych Auditorium in the Byrum Welcome Center.

Thirty years after the fall of apartheid, South Africa remains the most unequal country in the world. From South African filmmaker Tara Moore comes a landmark documentary that reveals the deep-rooted forces of inequality still shaping the nation today. With unprecedented access, the film follows the grandson of the so-called ‘Architect of Apartheid’ as he grapples with his family’s role in one of history’s most brutal regimes. His deeply personal reckoning exposes apartheid’s endurance today, both systemically and psychologically. This powerful exploration of South Africa’s enduring legacy of racial domination speaks to the global structures of inequality shaping the world today.

Following the film, Director Tara Moore will join Wake Forest professors Rais Rahman and Corey D. B. Walker for a conversation and Q&A. Refreshments will be available, along with a pop-up exhibit of South African objects from the Lam Museum.  Admission is free.

This event is sponsored by the Department of History, School of Divinity, Film and Media Studies, African American and African Studies, Documentary Film Program, Z. Smith Reynolds Library, and the Lam Museum of Anthropology.
