'Milisuthando' shows a side of #Apartheid #SouthAfrica rarely seen on screen, with criticism of @NelsonMandela and nostalgia for #Transkei, a 'Bantustan' created so #Whites could pretend their #racist policy was “separate but equal” rather than repressive eventslondon.org/reviews/the…
Milisuthando`: "An invitation into a poetic, memory-driven exploration of love, intimacy, race, and belonging by the filmmaker, who grew up during apartheid in South Africa but didn't know it was happening until it was over."

It’s a bold man who takes on #Israel-#Palestine as a subject for a one-man show. Bolder still for a Brit who has #Egyptian heritage (and a #TahrirSquare record) & an actor best known for his roles as lead hijacker in United 93 and #DodiFayed in #thecrown eventslondon.org/reviews/act…
