South Africa, towards the end of Apartheid: While trying to gain access to far-right AWB leader Eugene Terreblanche, director Nick Broomfield meets his driver, JP, and his wife Anita. JP promises to try and set up an interview with the volatile Terreblanche with hilarious results: Broomfield arrives late for the meeting, mumbling excuses about "getting some tea" and in a short but revealingly disastrous interview, simultaneously exposes the right-wing leader as a belligerent fool.
