In 1976, the South African government introduced a policy of educating all students in Afrikaans rather than English.

Although students protested about this peacefully they were met with tear gas and bullets from security forces. The footage of the violence is dramatic and disturbing. The focus then shifts to the rioting and looting that followed. Protesters from the time explain their feeling and their motivation.

First broadcast in 'People's Century' on 20 October 1996.
