As in Nazi Germany, race-laws in South Africa under apartheid forcibly removed people from their long-standing homes. 60 000 people were removed from District Six in the heart of Cape Town, their homes razed to the ground, after it was declared to be for ‘white’ South Africans only. It took nearly 20 years to achieve, finally destroying the centuries’ old District. This film, the only one of its kind, records one of the last families, the Hendrickses, to leave in 1982. A Muslim family, they resisted until the very end when almost everything around them had been bulldozed into rubble. The film records the day of their final removal and their subsequent dislocation to a remote new township miles from their place of work, their Mosque and the children’s schools. It captures their philosophy, their faith in God, their hopes and fears and their subsequent hardships in the new place.
