The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's Wife is a 1991 British feature-length documentary film set during the final days of apartheid in South Africa, particularly centring on Eugène Terre'Blanche, founder and leader of the far-right Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB). The film was directed by Nick Broomfield and first shown in 1991. It received an average of 2.3 million viewers during its screening on Channel 4.[1] A year later it was the subject of legal action brought by the journalist, Jani Allan, in what was described as "the libel case of the summer".[2] In 2006, Broomfield released a follow-up, His Big White Self.
