Plot Synopsis:
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.
