Description
Ernest Cole, a South African photographer, was the first to expose the horrors of apartheid to the entire world.
His book *House of Bondage*, published in 1967 when he was just 27, led him into exile in New York and Europe for the rest of his life—a life in which he never truly found his footing again.
Raoul Peck recounts his wanderings, his torments as an artist, and his daily anger in the face of the Western world’s silence—or complicity—regarding the horrors of the apartheid regime. He also tells the story of how, in 2017, 60,000 negatives of his work were discovered in a Swedish bank vault.
