Life's journey immortalised in doccie

10 April 2012

His work and life's legacy is widely celebrated, but who's the man behind UCT's Professor Neville Alexander? The launch in March of Glimpses of a Life: Neville Alexander, a half-hour documentary film by local filmmaker Nicki Westcott, lifted the veil from this acclaimed linguist and anti-apartheid struggle veteran.

The event was hosted by the Centre for African Studies, the Centre for Curating the Archive, and the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa.
