In the wake of one of the most significant failed social experiments in history, 'I'm Not Black, I'm Coloured' stands out as a pioneering documentary that examines the legacy of Apartheid from the perspective of the Cape Coloured. Despite embracing Desmond Tutu's vision of an all-encompassing 'rainbow nation' in 1994, the Cape Coloured and other Coloured communities across South Africa, soon realized that freedom, privilege, economic growth, and equal representation would not include them. For over 350 years, this community has endured disregard, neglect, discrimination, and belittlement, facing a psychological oppression and identity crisis unparalleled in South African history.
'I'm Not Black, I'm Coloured' delves into the rich history of Cape Town's majority population, the Cape Coloured, exploring their intricate existence in a country still grappling with racial identity. Through firsthand accounts from local elders, community leaders, members of Parliament, pastors, educators, and college students, the documentary sheds light on their experiences under Apartheid and articulates their concerns for the future amid escalating tensions. The film also captures the discovery of their ancestral roots through a groundbreaking genetic DNA project in South Africa.
Film is 52 minutes (TV network version). All South African cast and crew.
