The White Line

Slavery did not end with Lincoln, the American Civil War, new laws proclaiming the so-called freedom of Black people or the questionable legal description of “separate but equal”. Not in the US, and certainly not in the nations of Southern Africa where Apartheid was not outlawed until 1990.

Namibian producer/director Desiree Kahikopo-Meiffret’s Award-winning film, The White Line, is also her debut. It deals with a painful time in former Southwest Africa’s history when Namibia was ruled by Apartheid.
