The History of Stone

Ian Walker’s The History of Stone takes place one year after the fall of apartheid in South Africa. An American anthropologist (Sylvia Kratins) and her black South African colleague (Fred Pitts) are traveling together studying cave paintings when they cross paths with a white South African (Kirk Crist), who is tormented by his past. Can the two men’s pasts be reconciled and can either man learn to see the other in a different light in this new world? Alice Shikina directs.
