‘Show the world what the white South African had done to the Black’ … Ernest Cole.

The image is just one of many by the late Ernest Cole depicting the dehumanisation of Black people during apartheid.

Ernest Cole: Lost and Found video Official Trailer | Directed by Raoul Peck | LaKeith Stanfield 23 October 2024 Magnolia Pictures & Magnet Releasing
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Raoul Peck’s ERNEST COLE: LOST AND FOUND is a new documentary chronicling the life and work of Ernest Cole, one of the first Black freelance photographers in South Africa, whose early pictures, shocking at the time of their first publication, revealed to the world Black life under apartheid. Cole fled South Africa in 1966 and lived in exile in the U.S., where he photographed extensively in New York City, as well as the American South, fascinated by the ways this country could be at times so vastly different, and at others eerily similar, to the segregated culture of his homeland.
During this period, he published his landmark book of photographs denouncing the apartheid, House of Bondage which, while banned in South Africa, cemented Cole’s place as one of the great photographers of his time at the age of 27.
After his death, more than 60,000 of his 35mm film negatives were inexplicably discovered in a bank vault in Stockholm, Sweden.
Most considered these forever lost, especially the thousands of pictures Cole shot in the U.S.
Telling his own story through his writings, the recollections of those closest to him, and the lens of his uncompromising work, the film is a reintroduction of a pivotal Black artist to a new generation.
Featuring LaKeith Stanfield (Voice of Ernest Cole)
Directed by Raoul Peck
