'Smithsonian Global Sound '
The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage is proud to
announce the launch of our highly anticipated web site, Smithsonian Global
Sound (www.smithsonianglobalsound.org). Smithsonian Global Sound offers
digital downloads of music and sound from around the world at a reasonable
price. The site has a wealth of educational content and downloads are
accompanied by extensive liner notes. Our goal is to encourage local
musicians and traditions around the planet through international
recognition, the payment of royalties, and support for regional archives.
The first track we sold was "Tarab" by Famau, Harambee Music Club from the
album Music of the Waswahili of Lamu, Kenya, Vol. 3: Secular Music--an
eight and a half minute track of drum, harmonium, and bongo. Some lucky
person is walking around right now jamming to that track on their iPod
while reading the liner notes and benefitting the musicians of Lamu. This
is what Smithsonian Global Sound is all about! We hope you share our
excitement and will support the site.
Please forward this announcement to anyone and everyone you know,
especially to those who would be interested in our subscriptions for
educational institutions. www.smithsonianglobalsound.org

Subject: MOVIE REVIEW | 'IN MY COUNTRY' - Truth, Justice and Love in South
Africa
March 11, 2005
MOVIE REVIEW | 'IN MY COUNTRY'
Truth, Justice and Love in South Africa
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
"They rise up like the dead at the day of reckoning, voice after voice, story
after story, the troubled history of a shameful past," muses Anna Malan
(Juliette Binoche), an anguished South African poet and journalist attending
public hearings conducted in the late 1990's by South Africa's Truth and
Reconciliation Commission.
Anna, whose on-the-scene dispatches are carried on South African state radio
and on National Public Radio in the United States, is the weepy, hand-wringing
conscience of John Boorman's high-minded but hopelessly wooden film "In My
Country."
At the commission's hearings, conducted from 1996 to 1998, the commission
investigating human rights abuses during apartheid took testimony from more
than 20,000 witnesses; 2,000 testified publicly. As the predominantly black
victims confronted their tormenters face to face in the courtroom, many broke
down, recalling atrocities, kidnappings and the disappearance of loved ones.
The perpetrators, in turn, were promised amnesty if they faced up to their
deeds, told the whole ugly truth, expressed contrition and could prove that
their crimes were politically motivated. That old standby, "I was only
following orders," was the usual excuse. The hearings upheld the South African
principle of "ubuntu," which pursues reconciliation instead of revenge by
absolving all sides of their transgressions.
Anna has strict instructions from her boss to keep her reports under 40
seconds. At one point her supervisor calls to praise her for having captured an
especially bloodcurdling courtroom scream. In this grindingly earnest film,
that congratulation sounds a rare and welcome note of media cynicism.
The movie reconstructs choice tidbits of the testimony given by a tiny sampling
of victims, all but one of them black. Their graphic descriptions of rape and
emasculation, of tongues being severed and of burying what body parts they can
retrieve of loved ones are at once too much and not enough. Sandwiched between
numbing paragraphs of point-counterpoint argument, these shattering fragments
are rushed and feel as jarring as screams erupting during a prayer meeting.
The screenplay, by Ann Peacock, who adapted the story from Antjie Krog's memoir
"Country of My Skull," makes the fatal mistake of turning characters into
mouthpieces. Even when they modify their positions, the people remain too
schematic for you to sense an emotional groundswell that isn't meticulously
preprogrammed.
Anna meets her rhetorical match in Langston Whitfield (Samuel L. Jackson), a
surly reporter for The Washington Post who brings his own angry racial agenda
to the hearings. To him, forgiveness is unimaginable and the forum seems just
another diabolical trick to take white supremacists off the hook.
As Anna's naïve idealism collides with Langston's bitterness, the movie has a
chance to come to life. But in a turn of events that occurs without
psychological preparation, Anna, who is married with three children, and
Langston, a married family man, begin an affair. The chemistry between Mr.
Jackson and Ms. Binoche (whose Afrikaans accent is shaky at best) is
nonexistent. In their love scenes, Mr. Jackson, who appears stiff and
uncomfortable throughout the film, seems lost in thought. But the affair
provides an excuse for Anna to utter one of the most stilted goodbyes in movie
history when it's time to part: "My skin will never forget you."
Her affair and its aftermath shoehorn a distracting extra layer of meaning into
the movie by dragging issues of betrayal and forgiveness from the courtroom
into the bedroom.
Every few minutes the film awkwardly splices in another segment of Langston's
continuing interview with Colonel De Jager, a fictional torture-loving white
South African police chief, played by Brendan Gleeson with a nasty gleam in his
eye. When he taunts Langston with his descriptions of the orgiastic fun at a
secret torture farm, he chortles fiendishly about how practicing torture,
mutilation and castration is "better than sex."
As "In My Country" winds down, it makes sure that everyone shoulders a measure
of guilt. Anna discovers a skeleton in her own family closet, while her
free-spirited black South African assistant, Dumi Mkhalipi (Menzi Ngubane),
also turns out to have blood on his hands. So much for the good guys and the
bad, the film sermonizes; we are all culpable. Guilt rules.
"In My Country" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult
guardian). It has sexual situations, and its graphic testimony pulls no punches.
'In My Country'
Opens today in Manhattan.
Directed by John Boorman; written by Ann Peacock, based on the book by Antjie
Krog; director of photography, Seamus Deasy; edited by Ron Davis; music
supervised by Philip King; art director, Emilia Roux-Weavind; produced by
Robert Chartoff, Mike Medavoy, Mr. Boorman, Kieran Corrigan and Lynn Hendee;
released by Sony Pictures Classics. Running time: 104 minutes. This film is
rated R.
WITH: Samuel L. Jackson (Langston Whitfield), Juliette Binoche (Anna Malan),
Brendan Gleeson (De Jager), Menzi Ngubane (Dumi Mkhalipi), Sam Ngakane

About the Class: -
Wear whatever you feel comfortable in - no need to uncover your belly! This
class is designed for people trying Egyptian/Middle Eastern Belly Dance for the
1st time.
Connect with your inner goddess through the timeless art of Belly Dance. Many
early civilizations around the world have used dance for healing purposes,
courtship, childbirth preparation, celebrations and religious rituals. Dance is
a way to connect with the Divine. This ancient dance still reflects the
sensuality, and femininity of all women. Belly Dance allows the body to express
itself in motions natural to all women. In dance we become aware of ourselves
and our beauty. It is this combination of body, mind and spirit that sets us
free. Learn to joyfully combine the energies of your body, mind and spirit in a
fun, nurturing and non-competitive environment. Egyptian Belly Dance uses
natural movements which exercise every part of the body & allows each
individual to express her own creative style and personality. This is a low
impact class designed for women of all ages, shapes, & sizes.
Beginners are welcome!
SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO WEAR: -
Wear whatever you feel comfortable in - no need to uncover your belly!
Leotards or long flowing skirts with elasticized waist - worn with cut off
midriff tops. Or fringed scarves or coins can be worn at the hips, as well as
loose blouses, or long dresses loose in the waist. If you enjoy jewelry wear
lots of it, adorn yourselves with earrings, bangles, etc. Be comfortable and
festive. We will let the creativity flow and tap into our feminine power.
