In My Country, the film
September 08, 2005
In My Country, also known as Country Of My Skull, is a British film distributed in 2004 about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings held in South Africa after the downfall of apartheid. It stars Samuel L. Jackson as Langston Whitfield a reporter for the Washington Post, and Juliette Binoche as Anna Malan, a South African journalist and radio reporter.
The film is disappointing because it focuses on a romance between Whitfield and Malan more than the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings which is the real story of import.
I don't recommend this film unless you are totally ignorant of the post apartheid situtation in South Africa in which case you might learn a little something.
