Program Highlight - Have You Heard From Johannesburg

This summer, all eyes were focused on South Africa as the host of the World Cup. But behind the stadiums and multi-million sponsorships lie the ghost of Apartheid, which remains today, 16 years after its end. Connie Field’s sprawling, captivating Have You Heard From Johannesburg is the ultimate document on how one nation, with the help of the world, frees itself from the tyranny of segregation. Hailed as “a triumph of maximalist filmmaking” by the Village Voice and “massive, engrossing and surprisingly exciting” by New York magazine, the film is already considered an essential viewing.

Programme 1:

The Road to Resistance(64 min), begins with Nelson Mandela’s release but flashes back to Apartheid’s beginning and the African National Congress leaders’ arrests. Hell of a Job(58 min) then focuses on the efforts of exiled dissident Oliver Tambo.

The New Generation(58 min) from within South Africa led to the Soweto Uprising, which brought about international action.
