Sarah and Omelga

Directed by Tan Chui Mui

The young local film makers of Durban inspired Tan Chui Mui to make the documentary Sarah and Omelga. Coming from Malaysia with its extreme racial divisions, she was curious about the views of her South African colleagues on the new racial 'equality' in their country. She looked up the white film maker Sarah Dawson and the black film maker Omelga Mthiyane in their own surroundings and listened to their stories.
