Part 5 of "Apartheid," produced by "Frontline" (the umbrella under which the whole series is presented), looks at possible signs of hope in South Africa as exemplified in an unprecedented conference held earlier this year in Senegal. Parts 1 through 4 were produced last year by England's Granada Television executive producer Brian Lapping also did the extraordinary Granada docudrama "Breakthrough at Reykjavik," seen on PBS stations last week. The first two hours of "Apartheid" air at 9 tonight on Channel 26 and other public TV stations the second two hours air tomorrow night at 9, and the conclusion airs Wednesday at 10. An ambitious and exhaustive five-part documentary on PBS this week asks more: that one consider the historic, economic and combative background of South Africa and its shame.Īfter all five hours, one well may arrive back at Point A, that South Africa's system of racial separation and oppression is an abomination on the earth, but now one has considerably more understanding.
