I Am Not Your Negro director Raoul Peck’s film is an intimate portrait of the photographer who paid the price for revealing to the world the true horrors of apartheid in South Africa. Cole was South Africa’s first Black freelance photographer. 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.
