Once lauded as a ‘political miracle’, South Africa is still defined by the legacy of economic apartheid earning it a top spot for one of the most economically unequal countries in the world. “A New Country” draws from heartbreakingly insightful and remarkably frank interviews with a full spectrum of South Africans, from informal workers to pop culture figures to artists, politicians, and academics. The film follows the South African narrative from the early days of liberation to a contemporary society that is increasingly fractured and in which the culture of resistance and protest is as strong and vital as it was during the height of legislated apartheid.
