South Africa, 2004, 96 min., 35mm. Dir./Writ. Darrell Roodt. Cast: Kenneth
Khambula, Leleti Khumalo, Harriet Lenabe, Lihle Mvelase. In Zulu, with
English subtitles.
When Yesterday (Khamula), a young devoted Zulu mother, learns that she has
contracted HIV from her husband, she draws strength from her despair and
resolves to stay alive long enough to see her daughter start school. As her
health deteriorates and her husband continues to live in denial, she is
forced to single-handedly support the family. Beautiful and heartbreaking,
Yesterday puts a much needed human face on a global crisis. The film was
the first South African film to be nominated for an Academy Award for the
best Foreign Film.
