About The Leader, His Driver, and the Driver's Wife
Nick Broomfield tries to interview Eugene Terre'Blanche, leader of the sinister neo-nazi AWB Afrikaner Party in South Africa. Cameras capture awkward interactions with skittish AWB supporters, combat training of militant youth, and the coveted interview itself. Broomfield's access to these events is made possible by the leader's driver, whose wavering allegiance to the movement is explored as well.
Directed by Nick Broomfield, The Leader, His Driver, and the Driver's Wife leans on a strong ensemble — Nick Broomfield, Eugène Terre'Blanche, J.P. Meyer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1991.
