Maids and Madams: Apartheid Begins in the Home Movie Review 1986

The relationship between maid and madam in South Africa is a microcosm of the apartheid system. Some white employers are kind, while others are brutal. This film examines this complex relationship, where the black women are trapped by racial injustice and the white women by fear.
