Indigocafe.com will be screening this film in collaboration with the
BSEC Ethical Action Committee.

For over forty years, South Africa was governed by the most notorious form of racial domination since Nazi Germany. When it finally collapsed, those who had enforced apartheid's rule wanted amnesty for their crimes. Their victims wanted justice. As a compromise, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was formed. As it investigated the crimes of apartheid, the Commission brought together victims and perpetrators to relive South Africa's brutal history. By revealing the past instead of burying it, the TRC hoped to pave the way to a peaceful future.

Long Night's Journey Into Day follows several TRC cases over a two-year period. The stories in the film underscore the universal themes of conflict, forgiveness, and renewal. A Film by Frances Reid and Deborah Hoffmann. 94 minutes. 2000.

When:
Monday, October 10th at 7 PM

Where:
The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture
53 Prospect Park West (at 2nd Street)
Brooklyn, NY 11215
