The highlight of the day was the U.S. premiere of Red Dust, produced by Anant Singh, (left) along with Carl DeSantis, Yvonne S. Boice, Angus Douglas. Singh is widely recognized as South Africa’s pre-eminent film producer. Nelson Mandela called him “a producer I respect very much…a man of tremendous ability” when he granted him the film rights to his autobiography, Long Walk To Freedom. Singh is set to film Long Walk to Freedom next year. The South African film showcase was presented by Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, in the heart of South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Kwandwe is owned by Carl DeSantis, former chairman of Boca-based Rexall/Sundown, Erika Stewart and Angus and Tracy Douglas.
