Schadeberg. Black-White

Description

The photographer Jurgen Schadeberg captured a revolution. His images defined Drum, the first black magazine, and his life became the subject for a Hollywood film. As he returns to South Africa, his story casts a vivid light on the role of the artist, as well as on South Africa's troubled past and uneasy climate today. "In 1994, when Nelson Mandela came, we all believed in the rainbow nation. But apartheid is back. It's starting all over again. We were perhaps naïve," says Schadeberg, realizing that his work in documenting this country is far from over. This visually rich documentary brings viewers closer to the experience of apartheid and its legacy than ever before.
