21ICONS - Alby Sachs

Albie Sachs – “I’m proud of our flag … It represents the triumph of humanity, the will to find a common basis for living together in one country.”

21 ICONS is an annual collection of unique narrative portraits and short films by Adrian Steirn, who is one of Africa’s pre-eminent photographers and filmmakers. The series aims to highlight the lives and work of men and women who, uniquely and undeniably, have shaped the world as we know it. In this short file, Albie Sachs, former judge of the Constitutional Court, talks about his role in drafting the Constitution and why it matters to South Africa.
