More Details
While making a documentary film about a Canadian regiment, Strathcona's Horse, that fought in the South African Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1902), South African - born Tony Maxwell returned to his homeland after a 40-year absence to rediscover a country that was enchanting, shocking, unbelievably beautiful and, at times, frightening.
Travelling with his son Brad in search of old battlefields and graves, Tony learned about the intersecting history of South Africa and Canada, while recalling his personal stories of growing up in apartheid South Africa. He tells these stories with a blend of humour and an understanding of the history that shaped the country.
His recollections, combined with the sometimes disturbing opinions of South Africans from all walks of life, reveal a country still trying to come to terms with its history.
