Ernest Cole, a South African photographer, was the first to expose the horrors
of apartheid to a world audience. His book House of Bondage, published in1967
when he was only 27 years old, led him into exile in NYC and Europe for the
rest of his life, never to find his bearings. Filmmaker Raoul Peck recounts
his wanderings, his turmoil as an artist and his anger, on a daily basis, at
the silence or complicity of the Western world in the face of the horrors of
the Apartheid regime. He also recounts how, in 2017, 60,000 negatives of his
work were discovered in the safe of a Swedish bank.
