These hearings would serve as a forum for those accused of murder and torture to be confronted by their victims and, by admitting their guilt, be grantedamnesty under Ubuntu, the native custom of forgiveness. Covering the sessions are Langston Whitfield (Academy Award(r)-nominee Samuel L. Jackson, Best Supporting Actor, Pulp Fiction, 1994) and Anna Malan (Academy Award(r)-winner Juliette Binoche, Best Supporting Actress, The English Patient, 1996), two journalists who, through their reporting, inspire both the world and themselves with these extraordinary stories about courage, compassion and the redeeming power of love. Directed by Academy Award(r)-nominee John Boorman (Deliverance, 1972; Hope and Glory, 1987). Based on the book \"Country of My Skull\" by Antjie Krog.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nReleased in the wake of\nHotel Rwanda,\nIn My Country tackles another grim chapter in African history. Set during South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the film is adapted from Antjie Krog's\nCountry of My Skull. Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche (\nThe English Patient) is Anna, an Africaans poet and broadcaster, and Samuel L. Jackson (\nPulp Fiction) is Langston, a Chicago reporter. The two meet during the hearings and take an instant dislike to each other. In due time, however, they come to an understanding and embark on a tentative affair, despite Anna's faith in the hearings and Langston's doubts. John Boorman, whose previous features were the underrated\nBeyond Rangoon and\nThe Tailor of Panama, coaxes sensitive performances from his leads and sheds welcome light on an important event, but\nIn My Country never catches fire. Boorman regular Brendan Gleeson (\nThe General), however, makes a memorable appearance as a sadistic police chief.\n--Kathleen C.
