The Last White President

South Africa's Last White President broke ranks with his own people to save his country. Afrikaner FW de Klerk, a wily lawyer, turned South Africa around at the end of the Cold War by releasing his people's most feared enemy, the liberation icon Nelson Mandela.

This was the first move in the painful journey towards creating a restorative democracy for his conflict-ridden homeland. His bold gesture to give away power, on behalf of a reluctant people, is unprecedented in world history.

Mr De Klerk's personal account of his few but pivotal years as South Africa's last white President is probed relentlessly by the world's media seeking the true story of the end of apartheid, and useful parallels in world conflicts.

Through observing interviews with FW de Klerk, and hearing his account first hand, this film gives fleeting glimpses of the personal figure concealed behind the political hero, the inner man who laughs and cries with the joys and tragedies of the developing Rainbow Nation.
