But after having met him for the first time, he changes his opinion. They meet several times, and this means that Woods and his family get attention from the security police. When Steve Biko dies in police custody, he writes a book about Biko. The only way to get it published is for Woods himself to illegally escape the country. Written by Mattias Thuresson

Skin (2008) Trailer
Skin
SKIN is one of the most moving stories to emerge from apartheid South Africa: Sandra Laing is a
black child born in the 1950s to white Afrikaners, unaware of their black ancestry. Her parents are
rural shopkeepers serving the local black community, who lovingly bring her up as their white little girl.
But at the age of ten, Sandra is driven out of white society. The film follows Sandras thirty-year
journey from rejection to acceptance, betrayal to reconciliation, as she struggles to define her
place in a changing world - and triumphs against all odds.
