Description SKIN is one of the most moving stories to emerge from apartheid South Africa: Sandra Laing is a black child born in the 1950s to white Afrikaners, unaware of their black ancestry. Her parents are rural shopkeepers serving the local black community, who lovingly bring her up as their white little girl. But at the age of ten, Sandra is driven out of white society. The film follows Sandras thirty-year journey from rejection to acceptance, betrayal to reconciliation, as she struggles to define her place in a changing world - and triumphs against all odds.Sophie Okonedo, Sam Neill, Alice Krige, Anthony Fabian, Sandra Laing, South Africa, Apartheid, Helene Muddiman, Tony Fabian, UK Film CouncilSKIN Trailerhttp://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/8gTi_KSMM982011-09-22T03:19:18.000Z2012-05-16T20:35:52.000ZSkinA dark skinned girl born to white South African parents attempts to explore her identity in the era of apartheid as her government, her parents, and society as a whole struggle with what it means to be a black child of Caucasian descent in a nation deeply divided by race.
