Afrikaner 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 challenged by
Celeste, who 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 over the generations. In this
documentary, Gerrit shares the amazing journey that resulted
in his radical transformation. Also included are scenes from
Final Solution, the feature film based on his
life.
Today, Gerrit takes the message
of racial reconciliation to people in the United States, Latin
America and Africa. He and Celeste live in Colorado; they have
three children.
