Special Report Transcript Episode 9, Section 1, Time 00:25

Rick Turner was a teacher and trade unionist in Durban in the early 1970s. He was assassinated in January in 1978. His daughter, Jann is a filmmaker and tonight we show you a film she made about her father’s life and death. But first we go to Bloemfontein, birth place of the African National Congress, the South African Communist Party, the Pan Africanist Congress, the Afrikaner Broederbond, the National Party and the Freedom Front. That’s where the Truth Commission’s Committee on Human Rights Violations sat this week. The total onslaught years of the eighties were the worst period of repression and sometimes we forget about the early years of struggle: of the 1960s and the ‘70s.
