Mid-winter 1964, a phone rings at Johannesburg Railway Station. John Harris speaks quickly into the receiver: "This is the African Resistance Movement. We have planted a bomb. It is not our intention to harm anyone. Clear the Concourse." They don't. The bomb explodes, twenty-three are injured, one dies. Does the end justify the means? Does one life matter? As John Harris is arrested and tried for the capital offence of murder, his wife Ann, with baby David in arms, seeks refuge with the Hain family. Seen through the eyes of teenager Peter Hain, the boy who was to become an ardent anti-apartheid campaigner and later a member of the Tony Blair cabinet and then on to The House of Lords, The Only White is the account of a desperate fight for freedom. This is not only the true story of the one white man executed for political activities in Apartheid South Africa, it is also a tale of love, courage and comradeship.T1853383513Director Anthony Shrubsall.
