Featuring Alice Walker

Narrated by Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), Roadmap to Apartheid is as much a historical document of the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa, as it is a film about why Palestinians describe their living situation as an apartheid system, and why many respected analysts around the world agree with them. The film delves into numerous issues by comparing the similar laws and tools used by both Israel and apartheid-era South Africa. Combined with archival material and anecdotes from South Africans, the film explains why the analogy is being used with increasing frequency and potency.
