In conventional film making, producers think that political problems always have to be shown through a story. Mostly some kind of love story. The individual is always much more important than the masses, according to that liberal ideology.
That's the problem with "Country on my Skull". The testimonies from the victims of apartheid come second to the story between the Africaan woman and the Afro-American man. That's violating what ought to be the main issue here.
Samuel L Jackson and Juliette Binoche are both good, but their story is somewhat indescent and also typical for this kind of conventional film-making.
