Program:
Day 10 | "BLOOD LACE"
Two brothers, children of the same mother, one light-skinned and the other dark-skinned, try to alleviate the tedium of their existence by buying a newspaper so that Zach, dark-skinned and illiterate, can get a correspondent.
By getting a white correspondent, in South Africa under apartheid, a dangerous game is created, where the two brothers begin to enact the great drama of the color barrier, with all the fears and hatreds, locked in a fact and a different skin. In the game, Fugard speaks not only of the blood tie between the two brothers, but of the blood knot between all men. The knot of blood that has been twisted or broken by the terrible consciousness of race and caste has been a major problem that spans centuries.
