Summary:
A filmmaker, Paul Gilliat, returns to South Africa after studying in America and is employed by the security branch to gain access to Rasechaba, a black radical playwright, whose plays are presented in small back rooms in the townships. The filmmaker, a complex character, wangles himself into the right circles as an 'alternative' cabaret producer. His complexity is carried through even to his security police contact man, a shy, deferential individual with problems of his own. When the Cabaret is banned and a second show is raided by the cops, Paul runs away to Durban, where he decides to ditch his mission and make a real anti-apartheid movie about the township group.
