Sandra Laing entered the world a beautiful baby but no one, not the hospital staff, her mother, father or neighbours would admit the obvious. Abraham and Sannie Laing were white yet their daughter was dark. By a biological quirk, the pigment of an unknown black ancestor had lain dormant for generations and manifested in Sandra. If there was ever a wrong place and wrong time for this phenomenon, it was apartheid South Africa in 1955. Skin is a compelling and moving story about love, betrayal and reconciliation.

Candy

Director: Anthony Fabian

Year: 1999

Candy is a darkly comic, cautionary tale of a supermodel's decline. It is also the story of Sandra - a twelve year-old girl from the suburbs who dreams glamour and fame. Will Sandra end up like the model, Candy? Are they, in fact, the same person?
