Ernest Cole Lost and Found Movie

Ernest Cole Lost and Found Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: 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 in the US, he published his landmark book of photographs denouncing the apartheid, House of Bondage which, while banned in South Africa, cemented Coleโ€™s place as one of the great photographers of his time at the age of 27.

Ernest Cole: Lost and Found is directed by acclaimed doc filmmaker Raoul Peck
