Rogosin’s intention was to make a film that would ‘give a voice’ to the oppressed and, with considerable input from the legendary trio of Can Themba, Lewis Nkosi and Bloke Modisane, writers associated with the pioneering magazine, Drum, he produced a unique and award-winning piece of cinematographic history.
Fortunately, Lionel Rogosin wrote down the story of what he, his film crew and family endured during the making of this important film.
Peter Davis, a film maker who knew Rogosin well, has edited Lionel’s diaries into a fascinating and exhilarating story that is Come Back Africa — the book. |
