APOSTLES OF CIVILISED VICE: PARTS 1 & 2

After his election as president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela introduced the South African Bill of Rights, which provides equal protection to all citizens regardless of sexual orientation. For the first time, protection of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals was written into a national constitution. This momentous event is just one of many highlighted in APOSTLES OF CIVILISED VICE, an informative and engaging documentary on South African queer history. Director Zackie Achmat mixes interviews, archival footage, and historical reenactments to introduce the viewer to little-known stories of South African gays and lesbians from colonial times to the present. A heartfelt and inspirational film, APOSTLES OF CIVILISED VICE gives voice to a group of people silenced by colonial rule and apartheid laws and celebrates the freedom from isolation, persecution, and fear they ultimately achieved.
