A Human Being Died That Night recounts an extraordinary dialogue. Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela, a psychologist who grew up in a black South African township, reflects on her interviews with Eugene de Kock, the commanding officer of state-sanctioned death squads under apartheid. Gobodo-Madikizela met with de Kock in Pretoria's maximum-security prison, where he is serving a 212-year sentence for crimes against humanity. In profoundly arresting scenes, Gobodo-Madikizela conveys her struggle with contradictory internal impulses to hold him accountable and to forgive. Ultimately, as she allows us to witness de Kock's extraordinary awakening of conscience, she illuminates the ways in which the encounter compelled her to redefine the value of remorse and the limits of forgiveness.

True to size, good quality
Size: 3T, Color: White, Size: 3T, Color: White
Great quality sweatshirts. I bought white to tie dye. They held the dye really well! They are true to size, but a little bit longer than most shirts. They fit my kids really well. They have also held up well in the wash, no shrinking at all!

Durable and Warm
Size: 4T, Color: Orange
This is a great quality and my son says its really warm. Some hoodies can be a bit to thin, but this one was a little thicker and a great weight for those chilly days. I even applied some Cricut-cut HTV designs to the front and they worked really well on this fabric. It washes up great and has held up really well to my toddler's abuse!

Hoodie
Size: 5T, Color: Black
Love this hoodie. Great material! Color is a nice dark black and it's been washed quite a few times and the color is holding. It's not super light but it's not too heavy either just right for semi cold weather. Fits well!

PRO: Size is accurate. Color is nice. Quality is not too bad especially for the price. Nephew seems to like it :) CON: Quality can be better. The hood is very light and thin but other than that it’s good for the price.
