SKIN

directed by Anthony Fabian

Starring Sophie Okonedo of Hotel Rwanda and The Secret Life of Bees, SKIN is a dramatic feature based on the true life story of Sandra Laing. Sandra is distinctly African looking. Her parents, Abraham and Sannie, are white Afrikaners, unaware of their Black ancestry. They are shopkeepers in a remote area of the Eastern Transvaal and, despite Sandra's mixed-race appearance, have lovingly brought her up as their 'white' little girl.

Evetually, Sandra realizes that she will never be accepted in white society. She falls in love with a Black man, is disowned by her family, and leaves home to her life, for the first time, as a black woman in South Africa - with no running water, no sanitation, and little income.

SKIN examines race, identity and power, through a story of family, forgiveness and the triumph of the human spirit.

Celebrating South African Youth Day!

Music · Film · Discussion · Cocktails

On June 16th, ImageNation presents a festive celebration of South African Youth Day including a screening of SKIN and performances by Masauko of South Africa' s Blk Sonshine as well as the Themba Singers performing "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika."

What is South African Youth Day? When high-school students in Soweto started protesting for better education on 16 June 1976, police responded with teargas and live bullets. The student uprising is commemorated today by a South African national holiday, Youth Day, which honors all the young people who lost their lives in the struggle against Apartheid and Bantu Education.
