One of the bravest and most powerful political films ever made, Lionel Rogosin’s urgent indictment of racial injustice—filmed in secret in 1950s Johannesburg, South Africa—follows a young Zulu man’s struggles to provide for his family under the crushing burden of apartheid.
“Come Back, Africa is both history and legend, about real, ordinary people in extraordinary—and ongoing circumstances. The film remains complicated, interlacing stories and backstories, revealing at once adversities and strategies of survival.”
