Directed by Meg Rickards and Bert Haitsma, and produced by Paul Egan, it looks at the pivotal year from Chris Hani&#8217;s assasination in April 1993 to the elections in April 1994. It&#8217;s a very human look at some of the people and events from that momentous year.<\/p>\n<p>The name could equally describe the miracle of the documentary&#8217;s very existence, as the path everyone involved had to journey for the last three years to see its birth was by no means easy.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is that the documentary is superb, so watch it if you can.
