# Come Back, Africa (1960)

1960 · Documentary, Drama · South Africa, United States


## Synopsis

Come Back, Africa is a 1959 film, the second feature-length film written, produced, and directed by American independent filmmaker Lionel Rogosin. The film had a profound effect on South African cinema, and remains historically and culturally important as a document preserving the heritage of the townships in South Africa in the 1950s. It may be classified as reportage, documentary, historical or political cinema, since it portrays real events and people. It reveals an interpretation of meaningful social facts and a strong ethical assumption towards human behaviours like racism.
