Gerrit Wolfaardt was born into prejudice. Everything he had been
taught since childhood - from his family, his church and his culture -
told him that apartheid, or separateness, was right and natural. He
became a self-proclaimed disciple of Hitler, and hatched a diabolical
plan to rid South Africa of the 'Black Danger.'
His ideology was challenge by
Celeste, she later became his wife, and by the book Cry the Beloved
Country. His search for truth led him to question beliefs that had
been passed down from the past. In this documentary, Gerrit shares the
amazing journey that resulted in his radical transformation. Also
included are scenes from Final Solution, a feature film
based on his life.
Today, Gerrit takes the message of
racial reconciliation to people in the United States and South Africa.
He and Celeste live in Colorado; they have three children.
