In My Country

(sony classics) Release Date: March 11, 2005 Director: John Boorman Cast: Juliette Binoche, Samuel L. Jackson, Sam Ngakane, Brendan Gleeson, Menzi \'Ngubs\' Ngubane Plot: Romance blossoms in the late 1990s between a married American Washington Post journalist and an Afrikaner poet/radio journalist who meet while covering the proceedings of South Africa\'s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The TRC was established to encourage apologies for the human rights crimes committed under Apartheid by those who committed them, directly to their victims, as a way of obtaining amnesty. As the duo listens intently to the testimonies of both sides detailing the horrors of rape, torture and murder, the intense emotions the journalists are driven to feel draws them closer together into an affair.
