A HUMAN BEING DIED THAT NIGHT

by NICHOLAS WRIGHT, based on the book by PUMLA GOBODO-MADIKIZELA  

MAR 2018

Eugene de Kock, known as “Prime Evil,” is a white policeman serving two life sentences plus 212 years for the torture and murder of anti-apartheid activists. His interrogator, Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela, is a black female psychologist tasked with discerning man from state-sanctioned monster on behalf of South Africa’s government. In a harrowing exchange, prisoner and interrogator negotiate a space where fear and compassion co-exist. Wright’s unflinching 80-minute script-distilled from Gobodo-Madikizela’s best-selling book-is a deeply human story about accountability, remorse, and the complex nature of forgiveness.
