His Big White Self

His Big White Self is a 2006 documentary film made by Nick Broomfield. It is a followup to his 1991 film The Leader, His Driver and the Drivers Wife. It was shown for the first time as part of More4s Nick Broomfield week which started onFebruary 2006. The documentary follows Broomfield as he returns to South Africayears after the collapse of the apartheid regime. His previous film focused largely on JP Meyer, a driver for Eugene TerreBlanche the leader of the farright Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, and JPs wife, Anita.

JP works as an ambulance driver, splitting his time between this and his new wife. Anita moved to the town of Ottosdal and devotes much of her time to their grandchildren, teaching them Afrikaaner ways and traditions. JP expresses feelings of betrayal, as he believed that the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging would instigate a Boer revolution in its quest for a white homeland after Mandela and the ANC came to power. The AWB failed to achieve this goal.JP justifies apartheid and its principles of separation by race as the best way for South Africa to exist harmoniously. Anita, by contrast, has shifted from being a radical champion of white rule to concluding that a minority has no right to govern a majority. ........
