Who Do You Think You Are?

Family / History

A South African version of the hit British series, Who Do You Think You Are?, tracking the ancestry of South African personalities. Personalities will be going in search of their family history, bringing them face to face with the hidden stories of their ancestors. These personalities will have a pivotal role in the series. Their stories will be used as "emblems" of the historical trends that have created modern South Africa and their experiences are likely to encourage viewers to think about exploring their own family ancestry. "Each episode is presented as a highly personalised film, yet the wider historical themes they reveal situates the audience in the broader South African historical context,"
