Dolly and the Inkspots - 28 mins (21 December 1994) Formed in the early fifties, the Inkspots were the most dynamic and influential singing group of their time. Their unique sound earned them a string of hit records and appearances in films such as 'Jim Comes to Jo'Berg'. Yet apartheid law restricted them to a black-only audience, and their music came to represent the repressive dynamics of the age. Looking back, the remaining members tell all.

Ernest Cole - 52 min (23 March 2006) In this beautiful film, Jurgen Schadeberg turns the spotlight on to fellow photographer and former exile, Ernest Cole. Cole was the first photojournalist to expose the brutal realities of South Africa's apartheid system to the world. Weaving rare archive footage with contemporary interviews with Cole's family and associates, Schadeberg tells the story of a courageous artist whose clandestine work helped change a society's view of itself.
