TOMATOMETER
...A DRY WHITE SEASON moves so swiftly, catching you up into its hellish chain of events, that you're left reeling....No other contemporary mainstream film takes us so deeply, so unflinchingly, into the tragically divided heart of South Africa...
Los Angeles Times
...Its frankness and sincerity matter....An extremely varied cast...
New York Times
...Euzhan Palcy, a remarkable talent, has kept her undeniably powerful film ablaze with ferocity and feeling...

Description by OLDIES.com:
South Africa, 1976. The police ruled Gordon Ngubenes death a suicide. But when Afrikaans school teacher Ben du Toit (Donald Sutherland) saw the body, he knew his friend of fifteen years was the victim of police torture. Seeking justice, Ben hires barrister Ian McKenzie (Marlon Brando) to represent the Ngubene family at the inquest, but the judge ignores the evidence and exonerates the police. Refusing to give it up, Ben risks his family and career as he takes on a system run by racists, thugs and murderers. For if you're not with the Afrikaners, you're against them. And choosing the wrong side could get you killed.
