This moving 1995 adaptation of Alan Paton's celebrated novel stars James Earl Jones as a beloved, rural minister in South Africa who makes his first trip to Johannesburg in search of his son. The latter's destiny has been linked with that of a doomed, young white man, whose racist father (Richard Harris) is approached by Jones's character in the spirit of mutual understanding. Directed by Darrell James Roodt (Sarafina!), the film is most powerful in those scenes featuring Harris and Jones together, though early sequences grounded in the hard life and times of Jones's community are colorful and dramatic. It's impossible not to be touched by the cautious but real connection made between the principal characters and by the moral authenticity of the actors. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Amazing Film
I have seen this movie out there for a decade now and kept meaning to see it. The opportunity presented itself this Memorial Day weekend, so I took it. The story is set in the mid 1940s in South Africa. A priest is on a quest to find his long lost son.

Great movie - heavyweight actors James Earl Jones and Richard Harris turn ... Read More

i purchased this for classroom use, along with the reading of the novel. high school seniors enjoy talking about the universal themes in the book, but do not like the book. hoping the movie would elevate their interest, i showed it prior to finishing the book. they said that it just is NOT interesting. i, the teacher, love it!!!!
Rating: - excellent service and quality
Order arrived on time and in great condition! I will definately order from them again.
Rating: - Love is the Answer
"Cry, the Beloved Country" is the best book I have read this year, one that I would like to share with all friends and family. First, it is beautifully written and carried me on a journey to South Africa. It can be read on several levels, but what touched me most deeply was the message conveyed through the spirit, that fear is overcome by love--and that love which overcomes comes from God. Though a "secular" classic, this gem should be on the best-seller list in every Christian bookstore in the country. ... Read More
Rating: - South African tragedy,Justice and Enlightenment
Excellent movie. A black preacher(Jones) and a white wealthy landowner(Harris) played their roles astoundingly.
Living in an environment of apartheid or pending apartheid, both have experienced their own personal tragedies. Being complete strangers to each other, they eventually met face to face in a friendly atmosphere.Then as he was about to leave, the preacher turnd around and told the landowner, "My greatest sorrow is your greatest sorrow."
A definitely "must see" movie for everyone, young ... Read More
