In My Country tackles a grim chapter in African history. Set in 1996 during South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, the film is adapted from Antjie Krog's Country of My Skull. Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche is Anna, an Africaans poet and broadcaster, and Samuel L. Jackson is Langston, a Chicago reporter. The two meet during the hearings and take an instant dislike to each other. In due time, however, they come to an understanding and embark on a tentative affair, despite Anna's faith in the hearings and Langston's doubts. The film is rated R.
