"Where are you going?"Debut short by Stephen Frears sees him tell the story of racial tension in South Africa. A young boy (Mark Baillie) is taken to a nearby farm, by his grandmother (Gwen Ffrangcon Davies). It is an ill-advised trip as there is unrest in the neighbourhood and they narrowly escape a lynch mob due to the heroism of their chauffeur, who is unfortunately killed by the mob. Meanwhile the grandmother continues like nothing has happened...
Apartheid as seen through the eyes of a soon to be less innocent child, shot in stark black and white, making for an arresting feature.
