Summary:
More than two decades after the fall of apartheid, groups of White Afrikaners have cut themselves off from this unpredictable country, fearing that their language, culture and eventually their entire people may become extinct. Living on edge in an ever-changing nation, some have retreated to the breakaway republic of Orania, where they work to construct a utopia for White Africans. Within the safety of their laager - a homeland with its own flag and currency - they can, once again, dictate the rules.
