- Summary:
- Jurgen Schadeberg focuses on fellow photographer and former exile Ernest Cole in this beautiful film. Cole could have been one of a generation of lost black achievers that history overlooked, but Schadeberg reintroduced his work and his courage to the public. This film reveals how Cole acted as a shining symbol of anti-apartheid activism through his powerful art. On the payroll of the famous Drum magazine, Cole was the first photojournalist to expose South Africa's apartheid system. Weaving rare video footage of Cole with contemporary interviews of his family and associates, Schadeberg tells the story of a courageous artist who helped change a society's view of itself.
