209: Raoul Peck on Ernest Cole, George Orwell & Haiti

Pure Nonfiction: Inside Documentary Film - Un pódcast de Pure Nonfiction - Jueves

"Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" explores the legacy of the photographer who covered apartheid in the 1960s from the perspective of a Black South African. Cole was driven into exile in the U.S. and Europe. He died in obscurity in 1990, but he left behind a secret archive of over 60,000 negatives shot in exile that were recently discovered. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers interviews director Raoul Peck ("I Am Not Your Negro") about this new film. He also previews two more works coming next year on George Orwell and Haiti. Listen to past interview with Raoul on episodes 170 (on "Silver Dollar Road") and 21 (on James Baldwin). Subscribe to our Substack newsletter Doc Voices. On Instagram: @purenonfiction @thompowers1
