Children of Drum

Spoken: Engels.

Children of Drum traces developments in South African journalism from the 1950s when Drum magazine covered the struggle against the Apartheid regime, to the political changes since then that have affected the current state of journalism in South Africa. The documentary begins with the work of pioneering investigative journalists and writers like Henry Nxumalo and Can Themba as well as photographers like Peter Magubane and Jurgen Schadeberg. It includes personal insights by other journalists who worked with the early pioneers and continued after them. The film continues with journalists who are currently active in South African media and concludes with observations by the real children of the original Drum team on their father's legacy.
