Subscribe FreeIn 1994 South Africa's apartheid system was overthrown and amnesty was offered to the perpetrators of racial injustice...as long as they told the truth and could prove that they were following orders, while facing their victims and admitting their guilt in front of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Some of the stories of the 21,800 who testified are re-enacted in "In My Country." Langston Whitfield (Jackson) and Anna Malan (Binoche) were very different journalists with different beliefs who were there to cover the events as they unfolded. As their friendship developed, the two different colored people discovered that they weren't so different after all. Based on the book "Country Of My Skull" by Antjie Krog. (Tricia Spears)
