It provokes a lawsuit, death threats, and a massive street protest. Around this painting and it's vandalisation, a kaleidoscope of stories about art, race, and freedom of expression bear witness to the challenge of working in a country that has so far spectacularly failed to uphold its idealistic bill of rights. An exuberant account of the contradictions native to this troubled land. Petter Ringbom - Ref. 6226 Every week Journeyman offers a brand new documentary, fresh out of the cutting room.
