At 55, the white Jewish artist William Kentridge has a complicated relationship with apartheid. His film, “Ubu Tells the Truth,” depicts atrocities committed by the South African security police in a surreal style. Kentridge aims to find “the narrow band between remembering and forgetting” that allows South Africans to deal with the past. Produced by Kara Oehler.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
