COLORS OF HEAVEN
“commanding and emotionally charged. It’s a story that had to be told.”
Winner of two South African Academy Awards, COLORS OF HEAVEN (aka A MILLION COLOURS) is the epic true-life story of Muntu Ndebele, South Africa’s once most famous teen movie star. In the aftermath of the 1976 Soweto Student Uprising, he is separated from the love of his life, becomes a fugitive, and struggles for years to survive apartheid and find redemption. Set against the turbulent background of a nation in crisis, COLORS OF HEAVEN is a testament to the history of South Africa and its people's struggle for freedom, friendship, love, and second chances.
