There is a fantastic film called "Amandla!" about apartheid, and how music helped the people survive it and overcome it. It is a sincerely fantastic documentary that is entertaining and uplifting as well!
You public library probably owns a copy of it...
Also, the book "Kaffir Boy" by Mark Mathabane is a really great book about his experiences during apartheid, and it is a little long, but it is very engaging and easy to get through.

I thought that 'A Dry White Season' was an excellent and powerfull movie.
A Dry White Season is a 1989 film made by Davros Films and Sundance Productions and distributed by MGM. It was directed by Euzhan Palcy and produced by Paula Weinstein, Mary Selway and Tim Hampton. The screenplay was by Colin Welland and Euzhan Palcy, based upon André Brink's novel with the same name.
The film stars Donald Sutherland, Janet Suzman, Zakes Mokae, Jürgen Prochnow, Susan Sarandon and Marlon Brando (who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor). It is set in South Africa, and deals with the subject of apartheid.

check out "the gods must be crazy!" the first one is funny, about a coke bottle, the second one is cute with the two boys in it... i like the ending of the second movie. it's dry humor... but it's still a good documentary. good luck
