There are the good white people, the bad ones, and the patient, dignified oppressed class on the sidelines seeing their reality reflected through the prism of the privileged class. They are often groan-worth... read more

South African schoolteacher Ben du Toit (Donald Sutherland) seeks justice for the murder of a black boy in this political drama set against the backdrop of apartheid. When his gardener's son is killed by a police officer, Ben hires lawyer Ian Mackenzie (Marlon Brando) to prosecute. With the outcome of the case a foregone conclusion, Mackenzie butts heads with the system at every turn while Du Toit suffers personal alienation.

A Dry White Season

“Movies about racism with a white protagonist often exhibit a milquetoast exploration of the subject matter as they inevitability treat systemic modes of oppression as the actions of a bad few. There are the good white people, the bad ones, and the patient, dignified oppressed class on the sidelines seeing their reality reflected through the prism of the privileged class. They are often groan-worthy in the ways they offer soothing balm for deep, ugly scars and obscure present-day realities and the violent histories that have transmogrified into a complicated present.   I’m talking about things like Green Book, Driving Miss Daisy, and The Help, to name just a few. The white characters must learn to see and treat the black characters as equal humans and flirt with their lived experience” read more
