Description

'Too White For Me': In the heat of 1990s South Africa, superstar Chico Twala is a man caught between two worlds. As he attempts to bring Tracy Chapman to Johannesburg for a historic concert, he must navigate the deadly "black on black" violence of Soweto and the political minefield of the cultural boycott. This documentary follows Chico from his luxury home in Brianston to the dangerous streets where his brothers were murdered. We meet his wives, Tembi and Mackey, and his closest collaborator Sidi, revealing a traditional life fueled by fame and protected by a 9mm. Witness the tensions of the Ellis Park concert, the influence of Nelson Mandela and Winnie Mandela, and the breakdown of Chico’s partnership with Attie van Wyk. It is a story of soul, survival, and the high price of success in a changing nation. Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have. Our channel offers a range of TV series and documentaries about human experiences and life journeys - while looking at the challenges life throws at us, turning ordinary people into everyday heroes.
