“I have many lives – but basically I make politically engaged film”

In FFQ&A, award-winning director and screenwriter Raoul Peck talks about working on different continents, his self-image as a politically engaged citizen, and the documentary film ERNEST COLE: LOST AND FOUND. For the film portrait based on the images of the South African photographer, Peck viewed thousands of photographs – and posthumously gave a voice to the author of the groundbreaking anti-apartheid book “House of Bondage” (1967), who died in 1991. The cosmopolitan of Haitian descent was a politician, but is best known for films that take a stand, including LUMUMBA, THE YOUNG KARL MARX, and I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO.
