Product Description

e'Lollipop is the extraordinary tale of two inseparable South African children - Tsepo (Muntu Ndebele) and his orphaned friend Jannie (Norman Knox). They meet when Jannie's parents die tragically in a car crash in the Lesotho mountains. Jannie is sent to a missionary station in Tsepo's village where they become best friends. Together with their dog Sugarball, life is full of childhood fun and antics until tragedy strikes again: Jannie, aged 13, is seriously injured when one of their games goes horribly wrong. Tsepo and his community pull together so that Jannie can receive emergency medical treatment. A daunting challenge lies ahead - and at what cost will Jannie survive?

Tsepo and Jannie's inspirational story unfolds against the breathtaking backdrops of a dramatic African landscape and New York City in the mid-1970s. e'Lollipop is a life-changing story that reminds us of the true value of friendship, family, community and sacrifice - despite color or creed. e'Lollipop is a true South African classic of international stature that transcended the Apartheid boundaries of its day.

First released in 1976, this extraordinary motion picture story of two South African children and their dog, Sugarball, touched the hearts of audiences around the world. Despite the fear, hatred and brutality that plagued South Africa in the mid-1970's, e'Lollipop told a story of friendship and commitment that transcended racial boundaries. After nearly being banned in South Africa under Apartheid, it went on to become a cult classic. Shot in Southern Africa, Lesotho and New York, e'Lollipop was seen in over 40 countries and starred local and international talent including the late Ken Gampu, Oscar and Golden Globe Award Winner José Ferrer, and Golden Globe Nominee Karen Valentine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Childhood Revisited Feb 16 2011
By pjmoc - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For years my little brother and I tried to recall the details of a film that no one else seemed to remember. We both agreed the movie had a profound effect on us, but couldn't remember why. I stumbled across it on Amazon and ordered it immediately. It was a fairly unknown movie even when it was released in the 60's, so I was not expecting it to have been "digitally remastered." It was also coming from an import company, so I didn't expect too much by way of quality. I really just wanted to know the story, again. I was not disappointed. The movie was straight off an old VHS tape recorded to disc. I loved every minute of it. I am so glad I bought this movie; it was like discovering an old childhood toy - worn and a little frayed, but loved just the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality April 23 2009
By Tommy V - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Excited to see that this has been released in the US.. but disappointed by the quality. Looks like a VHS transfer. Do yourself a favor and buy a Multi-system DVd player and order the PAL version.
