Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act archive

Two lovers lie together and talk. Frieda is a white, middle-class librarian. Philander is a married Cape Coloured man with a young family, living in the most abject conditions in one of South Africa's thousands of shanty towns. The police enter and arrest them, and both are forced to give statements. Written in 1964, the year Nelson Mandela began his sentence on Robben Island, and inspired by real events, Statements is a devastating story of illegal love under Apartheid.
