Details
Artist-turned-filmmaker Milisuthando Bongela's personal essay traces her childhood in South Africa during apartheid - though she didn't know it was happening until it was over.
She lived in the Republic of Transkei, an unrecognised Black independent region established by the apartheid regime, creating the illusion for Black South Africans that separate could be equal. The fall of apartheid ushered in a new life, one that included – for the first time – whiteness.
A deeply intimate portrait of past, present and future South Africa, blending poetry, film, and photography into a striking cinematic essay, Milisuthando explores love, friendship, and belonging in a South Africa stratified by racism – proving that only if we understand its tentacles, can we begin to extricate ourselves from its clutches.
Followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Milisuthando Bongela, hosted by Guy Lodge.
