Welcome to viewers of Culture Unplugged!
Welcome to viewers of Culture Unplugged! Wrong Side of the Bus is about the conscience of a bystander in the context of South Africa during the Apartheid era. Many films are about victims, a few are about perpetrators, but very few have explored the role of the bystander - the person who sees wrongdoing but for various reasons, feels unable to do anything about it. It also has a theme of 'forgiveness' as the protagonist, Professor Sidney Bloch, attempts to seek forgiveness and explore whether others were able to forgive the crimes that they suffered.

The film has a free, downloadable Study Guide for teachers and educators, available at www.wrongsideofthebus.com. You can also buy the DVD at wwwoncemymother.com.au

Synopsis:
Sidney Bloch, an internationally recognized professor of psychiatry from Melbourne Australia, returns to Cape Town for his medical school reunion. Sid has suffered from a troubled conscience for forty years and wants to resolve his guilt for colluding with Apartheid – but what will it take to free him from his past? He's accompanied on his quest for reconciliation by his son, Aaron, who is also his harshest critic. Narrated by Aaron, the film explores how a good person accepts racism and injustice.
