Following a UK exhibition of South African photographer's Ernest Cole's ground-breaking photobook House of Bondage - one of the most significant photographic works of the 20th century, which exposed the inhumanity of South African apartheid to the world - Oscar-nominated director Raoul Peck's (I Am Not Your Negro) new documentary takes his story to film.
Narrated by LaKeith Stanfield, Ernest Cole: Lost and Found is filled with images of the searing photographs Cole risked his life to take; portraits of life in a brutal caste system, its violence and indignity. Published in 1967 when Cole was in his 20s, House of Bondage exiled him to Europe and America for the rest of his life, enraged for decades by the silence of the West in the face of the apartheid regime.
Of a piece with Peck's wider body of work, Ernest Cole: Lost and Found is also a kind of detective thriller, which documents a latter-day discovery while reassessing Cole's life and the full scope of his contribution to our understanding of race.

Rooney Mara stars in Güeros director Alonso Ruizpalacios' La Cocina. Like Boiling Point or sensationally popular series The Bear, it takes on the cauldron of feeling and fury that is the modern professional kitchen - but shifts the focus from high-end cheffing towards the lives of the immigrant workers who make so many restaurants viable.
