INTRO #1

Hello and welcome to 21st Century, I’m Daljit Dhaliwal

South Africa - a country of great beauty and culture. But for more than 4 decades black and non-white South Africans lived under a brutal system of segregation - Apartheid. Denied the right to vote and banned from most public places and Universities, many never could realize their potential - until the end of apartheid brought new hope. Now a talented group of young people are living their dreams...and taking their place on some of the world's biggest stages. Join us on their unforgettable journey ....(43’).
