Weiße Zeit der Dürre (1989)
Soweto, Südafrika, 1976. Bei einer friedlichen Demonstration wird ein schwarzer Junge verhaftet, dann mißhandelt. Sein Vater, ein gutmütiger Schulgärtner, wendet sich hilfesuchend an den weißen Lehrer Du Toit, der beschwichtigt. Als sowohl der Inhaftierte, als auch dessen Vater unter mysteriösen Umständen verschwinden, beginnt Du Toit zu kämpfen. Mit der Hilfe eines engagierten Anwalts zieht er vor Gericht und manövriert sich damit zunehmend ins soziale Abseits der rassistischen Gesellschaft.
