Never, never, never give up
Abraham Laing
Skin is a film based in apartheid-era and post-apartheid Africa, following the life of Sandra Laing, a black-skinned girl born to white Afrikaaner parents. The story drops many
anvils about racism and living as a black person in apartheid-era Africa (To be expected, given the setting). The story progresses from when Sandra is a schoolchild, to when she begins searching for a husband, to her casting her political vote in a post-apartheid Africa. The film was given 10 awards in 8 different film festivals and nominated for one in another. It features
Sophie Okonedo as Sandra,
Sam Neill as Sandra's father, Abraham, and Terri Ann Eckstein as Sandra's mother, Elsie.
