Euzhan Palcy's A Dry White Season is a thrilling and ferocious portrayal of atrocity and discrimination in the apartheid-era of South Africa starring Donald Sutherland, Zakes Mokae, Susan Sarandon, and Marlon Brando in an Oscar-nominated supporting role.
In the apartheid-era of South Africa, schoolteacher Ben du Toit (Donald Sutherland) lives with his wife and two children, wilfully naive to the racism and injustice in his country. That is until the son of his gardener is beaten and killed by white police officers in the aftermath of a protest for better education for Black children. This devastating event forces du Toit's to open his eyes and emboldens him to finally stand up and take action, seeking the help of human rights lawyer Ian McKenzie (Marlon Brando), an isolating endeavour that will change the lives of du Toit and his family forever.
With a superb cast including Donald Sutherland, Zakes Mokae, Susan Sarandon, and Marlon Brando in an Oscar-nominated supporting performance, Euzhan Palcy's A Dry White Season is a thrilling and ferocious portrayal of atrocity and discrimination.
‘A gripping film, finely counterbalancing a fierce sense of moral outrage with an inexorably unfolding human tragedy.’ - Daily Telegraph
‘An impressive film’ - The Times
