When people go to Johannesburg, they do not come back. 'Cry, the Beloved Country' is the moving story of two families in South Africa - one black and one white - who are brought into violent contact. From a remote valley in Natal, Reverend Kumalo sets off for the city of Johannesburg in search of his younger sister and his son.
