Fourteen years after liberation and sixty years since the beginning of what was then 'apartheid', this documentary series explores and uncovers the extent to which race still plays a part in everyday life for those living in South Africa.
Audrey Brown meets South Africans from all walks of life to find out whether recent racial incidents have revealed cracks in what has been dubbed the miracle of 'the rainbow nation'.
In the face confrontation and controversy, she asks difficult questions about how different South African communities view one another.

- What do South Africans really think about one another?
- How do you get people to engage on the issue?
- And can racism ever be eradicated there?
