Has Socialism Failed Us?

“Has Socialism Failed Us?” (2000) is a frank and critical insider look at the South African Communist Party (SACP). This riveting documentary offers an informed view of the history of SACP and the problems and challenges that it faces in the post-1990 period and the future. It traces its beginnings amongst the white working class, the decades-long influence of the former Soviet Union, its alliance with the ANC and the political fall-out symbolised by the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
