Nothing but the Truth

The death of an estranged brother forces aging librarian Sipho
Makaya, along with his daughter and the niece he has never
met, to confront the betrayals, jealousies and animosities of
the past, both political and personal.

Exploring the relationship between those who remained in
South Africa to lead the struggle against apartheid and those
who returned victoriously after living in exile, Nothing but
the Truth explores the destruction of a man’s aspirations at
the very moment when democracy promises their realisation;
examining family secrets, sibling rivalry, exile, memory and
reconciliation.

Written by and starring John Kani.

“a deeply felt portrait that delicately weaves the extraordinary and the
ordinary in its characters’ lives”
