Jurgen Schadeberg brings light on fellow photographer and former exile Ernest Cole in this beautiful film. Cole may have been one of a generation of lost black achievers that history overlooked for a while, but no more. This film reveals how he acted as a shining symbol of anti-apartheid activism through art. Weaving rare video footage of Cole with contemporary interviews of his family and associates, Schadeberg tells the story of a courageous artist who helped changed societies view of itself.
