A photographer who changed the narrative. ERNEST COLE: LOST AND FOUND explores the life and groundbreaking work of Ernest Cole, who revealed the cruelties of South African Apartheid to the world, by the director of I Am Not Your Negro.
Cole was the first black freelance photographer in South Africa. His powerful record of the degradation of his people under Apartheid led to his exile. This poignant homecoming hymn restores his legacy and offers an essential story in the ongoing fight for equity and human rights.
“Raoul Peck weaves together a compelling narrative...a gripping portrait of a great observational photographer who was unappreciated in his lifetime.”
