Red Dust

In "Red Dust" (2004), a high-profile murder trial in post-apartheid South Africa forces a white lawyer, played by Hilary Swank, to confront the demons of her past as she faces the truth about her own involvement in the country's troubled history. As she navigates the complexities of the case and her own conscience, she finds herself drawn to a human rights activist, portrayed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who challenges her worldview and sense of justice. The film delves into themes of reconciliation, redemption, and the lingering effects of apartheid on individuals and society.
