With his shocking book House of Bondage, photographer Ernest Cole showed from the inside what apartheid meant for black South Africans like himself in 1967, when he was only 27 years old. The world was shocked. Cole himself had to live the rest of his life in exile in New York and Europe, where he would never find his feet. 

Raoul Peck recounts his wanderings, his restlessness as an artist and his daily anger at the Western world's silence or complicity in the horrors of the Apartheid regime. In the 1980s, Cole fell into oblivion, partly because his negatives seemed to be lost. In 2017, a large part was recovered - 60,000 negatives - in the vault of a Swedish bank.
