The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's Wife

Film chronicling the collapse of the white supremacist AWB party in apartheid South Africa through a portrait of its leader Eugene Terre'Blanche, his driver JP and JP's wife Anita.

Made in 1991 during a pivotal moment in South African history, Nick Broomfield's critically-acclaimed film chronicles the collapse of the white supremacist AWB party (Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging) in apartheid South Africa through a portrait of its leader, Eugene Terre'Blanche, his driver JP and JP's wife, Anita.

Broomfield follows the leader as he tours the country, attempting to set up an interview with him, while Terre'Blanche attends rallies, whipping up white hostility to the policies of Nelson Mandela's ANC and FW de Klerk's government.
