A Dry White Season

At the start I didn’t know anything about the movie ”A Dry White Season”, but now that I’ve seen it I must say that I’m very pleased about it. The movie is very good, very powerful, and touching if you have a bit of a soft soul. The movie takes place in 1976 South Africa, during apartheid. Donald Sutherland plays Ben du Toit, a schoolteacher. When Ben's long time friend and gardener Gordon comes to him asking for help because the police had whipped his son, Ben tells him he's sorry but there's nothing he can do. When Gordon comes to him again asking for help after his son has been killed, Ben again tells him he's sorry but there's nothing he can do.

I think films like A Dry White Season is very important. Americans tend to overlook the horrible things that are going on in Africa. I would definitely recommend A Dry White Season many do not remember it but it is certainly a very good film with great acting and a powerful story and message.
