I chanced upon this 10-minute short film, “The Killing of the Imam,” which recounts the murder of Muslim cleric, journalist (he founded the newspaper “Muslim News” in 1960) and political activist (he was closely linked to the Pan-Africanist Congress), Iman Abdullah Haron, by Apartheid police in South Africa in 1969. The police claimed he had fallen down the stairs. Made by his grandson Khalid Shamis, the film mixes “… animation, documentary and archive.”

    Dear Sean,

    I would like to get in touch with you about a possible interview I would like to have with you for Radio Netherlands Worldwide. Can you maybe send me your contact details (email) so I can send you all the details?
