The True America

South African Photographer Ernest Cole (1940-1990) published one book during his lifetime - House Of Bondage (1967) - a collection exposing life under Apartheid. After fleeing South Africa in 1966, he became a "banned person" and settled in New York, but his final years were marked by periods of homelessness and poverty

In 2018 a collection of 60,000 negatives was found at a bank vault in Stockholm, where Cole had lived briefly. Subsequently the book The True America was published in 2024 and an excellent documentary directed by Raoul Peck was also released - Ernest Cole: Lost & Found

« Dans son dernier #documentaire, le cinéaste haïtien #RaoulPeck retrace l’exil forcé aux États-Unis du photographe sud-africain, figure de la lutte contre l’#apartheid et dont le regard porté sur la condition noire a finalement transcendé les frontières. »
