The Sound of Masks

A poetic portrait of Albie Sachs, anti-apartheid icon and constitutional court judge, whose experiences under the apartheid regime and visionary ideals helped forge South Africa’s path to justice and transformation.

Dramatisation of the novel of the same name written by Sindiwe Magona about Amy Biehl, an American journalist murdered in Cape Town in 1993, and the 2012 play based on it. Based on the intimate one-woman play staged by singer, actress and playwright, Thembi Mtshali, the film seeks an understanding from the mother as she explains the direct consequences of apartheid, which influenced her son's actions.
