The leader, his driver and the driver's wife, made in 1991, is a documentary about the neo-Nazi society AWB (Afrikaner-Weerstandsbeweging), a white supremacist movement that existed in South Africa just before the end of apartheid. Focuses on interviews with the leader Eugene Terreblanche and various individuals in his entourage. We see the leader's hatred and racial nationalism exposed in the raw. His big white self, made in 2006, "further explores Terreblanche's absurd, yet insidious character, exposing his regime's stark and sobering impact that lingers to this day. Broomfield revisits the familiar and haunted faces of those brought down and broken by democracy's rise in South Africa, finally confronting the newly released and unrepentant Terreblanche in a manner not only tense but also hilarious and unforgettable"--Container.
