      abstract = {Mira Hamermesh's powerful film, shot in South Africa,  eloquently examines the tragedy of Apartheid through the  complex relationship between black household worker and  white employer. This domestic situation is a microcosm of  the racial issues dividing the country. Over a million  black women live in a state of domestic bondage, underpaid,  working long hours and at the mercy of draconian laws which  separate them from their own families.As psychologist Ethel  Wallt says at the end of the film: "The white people in  this country are imprisoned by their own fear".},
