The White Line

Period piece... namibia, 1963. Pretty rough times for blacks in africa. Working in terrible conditions for the whites under apartheid. Silvie's white boss sends her on errands she knows silvie will not be allowed to complete in a white-only shop. But her boss's brother is much more understanding and kind. And they form a close relationship. Too close for the times. This film focuses more on their relationship and the difficulties, and less on the violence and deaths during the uprisings. Well done.. they cover a lot of ground, and end up back near present day. Written and directed by desiree kahikopo meiffret. This has the feel of someone's own life story, being told in safer times.
