Thirty years after the fall of apartheid, South Africa remains the most unequal country in the world. From South African filmmaker Tara Moore comes a landmark documentary that reveals the deep-rooted forces of inequality still shaping the nation today.
With unprecedented access, the film follows the grandson of the so-called “Architect of Apartheid” as he grapples with his family’s role in one of history’s most brutal regimes. His deeply personal reckoning exposes apartheid’s endurance today, both systemically and psychologically.
A definitive chronicle of South Africa, LEGACY is more than a historical investigation — it’s a vital call to confront history in order to reimagine a more just future.
