简　　介　

　　The American Film Theatre's Lost in the Stars transforms Alan Paton's world famous novel of racial oppression Cry the Beloved Country into a tragic and beautiful film musical unlike any you've ever seen. Gilded by Maxwell Anderson's lucid lyrics and Kurt Weill's (The Three Penny Opera) powerful music and guided by Daniel Mann's (Playing for Time) sensitive direction this one-of-a-kind film is both a heartbreaking indictment of a cruel society and a poetic testament to the millions of forgotten lives ground beneath the heel of apartheid.
　　Brock Peters (To Kill a Mockingbird) is Stephen Kumalo a black South African minister searching the unfamiliar back alleys and shantytowns of Johannesburg for his son Absalom. But Kumalo's unwavering faith is put to the test when he finds Absalom in jail facing a capital murder charge. Courage dignity and sacrifice fall prey to the whirlwind of racist hypocrisy and hollow justice in Absalom's trial. Absalom's reunion and reconciliation with her father his jailhouse marriage to his pregnant sweetheart Irina (Melba Moore) and his heroic determination to tell the truth no matter the cost set the stage for a tragic climax of both epic proportion and documentary immediacy.
　　Peters whom Weill declared "one of the great voices of American theatre" delivers a flawlessly moving performance. Singing the title song "Lost in the Stars" in an empty church to which he will never return Kumalo's agony offers spiritual richness in place of poverty and human grace in place of prejudice even as his heart becomes another casualty of vicious ethnic hatred
