FILMFEST HAMBURG zeigt Ernest Cole: Lost and Found

In the organizer's words:

Come to FILMFEST HAMBURG and follow in the footsteps of Ernest Cole!

Ernest Cole, a South African photographer, was the first to bring the horrors of apartheid to the attention of a worldwide audience. His book "House of Bondage", which he published in 1967 at the age of just 27, led him into exile in New York and Europe for the rest of his life, where he never found his feet.

The film tells of the anger at the silence and the complicity of the Western world in the face of the crimes and injustices of the apartheid regime.

RAOUL PECK (*1953 in Haiti) studied film at the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin. His breakthrough came in 1992 with his film essay Lumumba: Death of the Prophet. His documentary I Am Not Your Negro about author James Baldwin was nominated for an Oscar in 2017.
