Mitchells's Plain: A Place in the Sun is not a factual account of the history of Mitchell's Plain, nor does it attempt to stick to a timeline via which historians can trace the history of a people. It's a narrative account of the lives of 24 people who experience living in Mitchell's Plain at different stages of their lives. Through their eyes the history of a place that was the dumping ground of the so-called Coloured people takes shape as a place that produced ordinary people living extraordinary lives. It is honest, raw, sometimes inaccurate, but always truthful. It turns the spotlight on a place and a people sometimes forgotten by history. Theirs are the real stories of Mitchell's Plain.
