Abstract
For the past few years students, staff and the government have been embroiled in a struggle to transform South Africa's institutions of higher education. Despite the recent announcement of fee-free university education for entering undergraduate students, the road to change students' experiences and success rates in universities remains long and arduous. Dr Alude Mahali and Prof Sharlene Swartz report on how a documentary, produced as part of a five-year long research study into students' experiences at university, offers a unique contribution to ensuring this transformation.-
