White schoolteacher Ben Du Toit (Donald Sutherland) lives in Johannesburg, remaining blissfully unaware of the lives of his Black countrymen until a wave of brutal treatment crashes down on his gardener, bringing Du Toit face-to-face with harsh political realities.

Donald Sutherland, who passed away earlier this year, stars in the groundbreaking A Dry White Season, the first Hollywood studio feature directed by a Black woman. Made at the climax of the anti-apartheid movement, the film is a devastating indictment of South Africa's racist government.

Filmography: Siméon (1992), Sugar Cane Alley (1983).
