Win Classic South African Drama CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY on Bluray
Did you win a bluray of the apartheid drama?

Adapted for the screen by literary icon and author of the highly acclaimed novel Cry, The Beloved Country - Alan Paton, this incredibly powerful and moving feature is about the heartbreak and friendship echoed between two very different men during a time of extreme racial tension under apartheid in South Africa.

In his last role on screen, the outstanding Canada Lee plays Kumalo, a hard up Zulu priest who journeys from a small village in rural South Africa to Johannesburg in search of his missing son. The findings of this good man come as blows one by one, first that his sister is a prostitute and then that his son has been arrested and sentenced to death for the shooting of an important white man. 

Back in the village, Jarvis, a rich white farmer (Charles Carson), indifferent to the injustices imposed by the apartheid, hears of the murder of his son. Through this tragedy, Jarvis learns that his son was a great activist opposed to the oppression of Black South Africans and thus comes to have a new understanding of their struggles.

Adapted by Paton from his renowned classic novel of the same name and directed by Zoltan Korda,  this is the story of two men from very different backgrounds who are united through the tragic deaths of their sons and whose extension of the hand of friendship to one another eventually brings a hope of peace among the bitter turmoil of South African society.
