Ernest Cole: a free photographer in a country that was not
The film dedicated to Ernest Cole highlights one of the most courageous documentary photographers of the 20th century. Born in South Africa under apartheid, he became one of the first black photographers to work for Drum, a legendary magazine where he refined a direct, empathetic, profoundly human style.
He quickly realizes that his camera can reveal what the regime is trying to erase: the daily humiliations, the separated families, the forced labor, the silent violence.
His book House of Bondage became a global sensation—a testimony banned in South Africa but conveyed with a rare visual power. Cole photographs with a blend of audacity, precision, and gentleness: he shows injustice without dehumanizing those who suffer it.
The documentary, which won the World Cinema Documentary Award at the Sundance Festival, retraces this extraordinary journey: the meteoric rise, the exile, the solitude, but above all this conviction that photography can be a tool of truth.
An essential film about a man who paid dearly for his freedom, but whose gaze continues, even today, to awaken us.
