Ernest Cole, a South African photographer, was the first to expose the horrors of apartheid to the world. His book House of Bondage, published in 1967 when he was only 27, led him to go into exile in New York and Europe for the rest of his life, never to find his bearings again. Raoul Peck recounts his wanderings, his artistic torment, and his daily anger in the face of the Western world's silence or complicity in the horrors of the apartheid regime. He also recounts how, in 2017, 60,000 negatives of his work were discovered in a Swedish bank vault.
