Full Plot Details

Langston Whitfield is a Washington Post journalist. His editor provocatively sends him to South Africa to cover the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, in which the perpetrators of murder and torture on both sides during Apartheid are invited to come forward and confront their victims. By telling the unvarnished truth and expressing contrition, they may be granted amnesty. Can the deep wounds of Apartheid be healed through reconciliation? Langston is deeply skeptical. He tracks down Colonel De Jager, the most notorious torturer in the South African Police and tries to penetrate the mind of a monster, an experience that obliges him to confront his own demons. Anna Malan is an Afrikaans poet who is covering the hearings for radio. As a white South African, she is shattered by the accounts of the cruelty and depravity committed by her fellow countrymen. Anna and Langston must question their sense of identity. Where do they each belong? How responsible are they for what is done in the name of their respective countries? The moving testimony of the victims affects them deeply. In different ways they are estranged from their families, and their shared experience draws them ever closer to each other. It is a story charting the unfathomable depths of human cruelty and the redeeming power of forgiveness and love.

Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by Jessica WinterBoorman's bathetic tourism is unconscionable for a subject of this magnitude; for an infinitely superior account of this chapter of South African history, seek out the documentary "Long Night's Journey Into Day."
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Nick Schagerthe kind of well-intentioned, but wholly unsuccessful, misfire that makes one desperately pine for a thorough documentary on its real-life subject
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussYou feel insulted you're expected to care about the petty problems of the leads when other characters are dealing with child murder, political torture and genocide.
Los Angeles Daily News - 8/10 by Bob StraussIn My Country is a film with great ideas - and important ones. Frustratingly, they are undermined by Hollywood plot contrivances, generally poor writing and at least one case of woeful miscasting.
EricDSnider.com - 8/10 by Eric D. SniderI do not question the filmmaker's sincerity, but he has made a flat, uninvolving movie. The road to boredom is paved with good intentions, after all.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Ella TaylorIn My Country stands closest to "Hotel Rwanda," a similarly clumsy yet inescapably moving effort to confront the brutal consequences of colonial oppression.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Cynthia FuchsBoorman's politics and own truth-telling aims are admirable, as they were in his underrated 1995 film, Beyond Rangoon.
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyIn spite of narrative missteps that negate the possibility of an empathetic protagonist, "In My Country" does viably introduce the African principle of "Ubuntu" whereby evil transgressions are absolved rather than revenged.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Donald J. LevitPatly rounded out with a Hollywood love-and-renunciation conclusion.
One Guy's Opinion - 7/10 by Frank SwietekUnquestionably sincere, but it doesn't do the subject justice in either the African or the western sense of the phrase.
