The subsidy was introduced by the apartheid government to encourage producers to make films for the majority black audiences, with the idea of creating entertainment for the black population in the homelands (the areas designated for people of colour by the Group Areas Act of 1950**), and thereby keeping their minds off of political unrest. It is important to note that despite the circumstances surrounding the original production and release of this film, this film forms an important part of South Africa’s cultural film (and political) heritage and should be viewed in this context. *More About the B-Scheme Subsidy https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/1...    • The propaganda films of apartheid-era Sout...      • G.R.E.G. CNBC Africa Silver Screen   **More About the Group Areas Act of 1950 https://www.sahistory.org.za/article/...
