Movie description:
The film stars two boys, Hjalmar and Simon, who move to South Africa with their parents. Full of wonder the children begin to explore their new world, which until recently was a white dictatorship treating black people like slaves. In everyday life and travelling across the huge country with their parents the boys encounter the dark shadows from an evil past. But their new African friends are full of warmth and belief in the future and in the end the boys fall in love with Africa.
The film follows Hjalmar and Simon, the director’s sons, on a journey of discovery through a foreign land. The family has moved to South Africa, not long after the end of the rigid white apartheid regime, which brutally oppressed the country’s black population. The children explore their new surroundings in amazement and are confronted again and again with traces of the dark past, in everyday encounters as well as trips around the country. Yet their new African friends Bulelani, Ayani and Lisu are full of hope and confidence.
»My African Diary« is the second in a »South African trilogy« by Jon Bang Carlsen. In »Addicted to Solitude« (1999) he examined racial segregation, while »Blinded Angels« (2006) dealt with issues of religious faith.
