His Big White Self [2006 documentary | Follow-up film to The Leader, His Driver & The Driver's Wife]

His Big White Self is a 2006 documentary film made by Nick Broomfield. It is a follow-up to his 1991 film The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's Wife. It was shown for the first time as part of More4's Nick Broomfield week which started on 27 February 2006. The documentary follows Broomfield as he returns to South Africa 12 years after the collapse of the apartheid regime. His previous film focused largely on JP Meyer, a driver for Eugène Terre'Blanche, and JP's wife, Anita.

In His Big White Self, Broomfield explores conditions after his return to Ventersdorp in the former Transvaal (now North West Province). He meets with JP, a former driver of Eugene Terre'Blanche, and his wife Anita to see how their lives have changed since the fall of apartheid in 1994.

Broomfield also gains access to Eugene Terre'Blanche himself, meeting him in disguise to prevent the leader from recognising him. During Broomfield's previous meeting with Terre'Blanche, the leader considered himself to have been portrayed as foolish, leading to death threats being sent to Broomfield. The film also documents some particularly noteworthy events which all occurred in the run up to the ending of Apartheid and the South African general election, 1994.
