Directed by John Greyson
With flourishes of design, costuming, metaphor and music, filmmaker John Greyson dramatizes an 18th-century anecdote of two men, black and white, imprisoned on South Africa’s infamous Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was later incarcerated). Their discovered affair exposes the two to severe persecution as part of a politically motivated witch-hunt.
