Have You Seen Drum Recently?
Have You Seen Drum Recently? is a 1989 film which uses photographs from the "Drum" archives to tell the story of the magazine and documents its contribution to the cultural and political life of South Africa.
In the 1950s, "Drum" focused on urban blacks living in a white-dominated apartheid world. It contained articles about the township jazz scene, crime, fiction and sport and documented the hopes, aspirations and despair of the urban, educated black sophisticate.
