A World of Strangers

Optimistic young Englishman Toby (Ivan Jackson) moves to Johannesburg, South Africa, when he's offered a job there as a publisher. Upon arrival, he's taken aback by the social problems that surround him, but he finds the nation's lack of a response to these ills even more disturbing. As Toby gets to know the locals, he befriends Steven (Zakes Mokae), a black man who teaches him more about apartheid. Though Toby's views ultimately cost him his job, he finds a new focus -- political reform.
