About the Director and the Film Series

Connie Field is the director of some of the most exciting, politically potent documentaries of our time: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ROSIE THE RIVETER and FREEDOM ON MY MIND. Her new film is nothing less than the definitive cinematic history of the worldwide effort to destroy South African apartheid. Working over 10 years, filming throughout the world, interviewing dozens of the major players — Field constructs a brilliant, epic 7-film history (divided here into 3 parts) that will stand as the final word on how a violent, racist, intractable government was destroyed by the concerted efforts of men and women working on multiple fronts inside and outside South Africa for more than three decades. This formidable accomplishment is anything but dry and academic: It’s a lively, tension-filled, heart-rending and ultimately thrilling journey.
