“Directed by the usually good, sometimes great, unequivocally talented John Boorman…In My Country is a complex, challenging, almost radical film, and it succeeds…as an expression of what it means to be fellow humans.”
– Nathan Lee, New York Sun
“The transitional period in South Africa is a model for an enlightened and humane reconciliation with past evils. In My Country shows the process at work and argues in its favor, and I…approve of it just on that basis.”
– Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Directed by the one and only John Boorman (Hope and Glory), In My Country (2004) focuses on the burgeoning relationship between an Afrikaner poet (Juliette Binoche) and an African American journalist (Samuel L. Jackson) as both cover the excruciating South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in Cape Town. Their personal story is interwoven with tales of apartheid’s victims and perpetrators, and South Africa’s valiant attempts to come to terms with its ruinous past.
