Whitey

Whitey is the extraordinarily powerful and poignant story of a weekend in the life of a footloose, alcoholic white seaman who finds himself thrown on the mercies of inmates of a 'smokkelhuis' (shebeen) in Cape Town's District Six - as it used to be. Whitey finds humour, compassion and pathos as well as mounting horror and terror as intense human dramas are played out around him.
