By age seven Noma Dumezweni had spent the whole of her young life on the run with her parents from the South African authorities. Finally her mother took her and her sister away to seek asylum in England.
Thirty years later, she was cast in a play as South African psychologist Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela, who interviewed controversial apartheid criminal Eugene de Kock, widely known as “Prime Evil”.
Noma doesn’t realize it at first but this play will have massive repercussions for all involved and bring her face to face with her identity, her history and eventually, her father.
Admission to the screening is on a first come, first served basis. Line forms beginning at 3:30pm.
Ticket holders to A Human Being Died That Night on Sun, Jun 21 will have priority admission to the screening.
A South African psychologist enters the prison cell of infamous apartheid-era political assassin Eugene de Kock in Nicholas Wright’s transfixing adaptation of Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela’s best-selling 2003 book.
