Other activities Political Before emigrating to the United States, Colman was active in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. He assisted in the making of two documentaries about apartheid, End of the Dialogue and Last Grave at Dimbaza, which were filmed secretly by British film students, and conceived by members of the Pan Africanist Congress in exile in London. Colman was also active in the National Union of South African Students, and was a member of the Liberal Party of South Africa until it was banned by the South African government in 1968. Colman left South Africa in 1974, due to his opposition to the apartheid regime, and emigrated to the United States. His experience is featured in The Rift, Hilda Bernstein's book on South African exiles. Bernstein interviewed Colman in New York City, and the interview is on file at the University of the Witswatersrand Historical Papers Research Archive.
