The Land Is White, the Seed Is Black

Filmmaker Koto Bolofo accompanies his father, a history teacher and 30-year refugee from apartheid, on a journey back to South Africa. He had been a critic of the racist Bantu education system and the brutal disciplinary methods of his schools Afrikaner principal. The film juxtaposes Professor Bolofos flight to asylum with vibrant scenes from the daily life of his village. This is not a documentary of explanation of politics, of sociology but an outpouring of images of the people given life by an artist and photographer.
