Academy Award ® & Emmy Award Nominated Film

Set against the awesome, harsh landscapes of South Africa, YESTERDAY is an eloquent, unsentimental film that quietly builds an overwhelming emotional force. The sure hand of writer/director Darrell James Roodt (CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY, SARAFINA!) makes the exotic world of the story both authentic and compelling, and the film resonates from the heartbreakingly beautiful face of lead actress Khumalo (who played Sarafina at 18).

The first film ever made in the Zulu language, YESTERDAY is a story of courage, compassion and hope, set in contemporary South Africa, ten years after the arrival of democracy.
