Have You Heard from Johannesburg? (2006)

Peter Magubane / Clarity Films

This film is actually a compilation of seven films lasting 8 and a half hours total and cover subjects of South Africa's history that include the apartheid period, the Int'l sports boycott and among many others.

The movie review caught my attention because I am a huge film lover and the subject seems interesting. The article also mentioned that most of the content is relatively unknown and new to Americans, which makes me really keen to see it.

Unfortunately, it's a small film, not widely available to the public. It's only viewable when it makes it's way to special film screenings around the country. The closest it comes to LA is San Francisco at Roxie Cinema in June. For screenings click here.

The following video is a small clip from the first installment entitled "Road to Resistance".


The film was Produced and directed by Connie Field; narration written by Jon Else; directors of photography, Tom Hurwitz and David Forbes; series edited by Gregory Scharpen, with additional editing by Ken Schneider and Dawn Lodgson; music by Marco D’Abbrosio and Todd Boekelheide; released by Clarity Films.
