Interwoven with clips from the original film "Come Back Africa", the late Lionel Rogosin tells the story of how he penetrated Sophiatown, Johannesburg during the iron rule of the apartheid regime. In what develops like a political thriller, An American in Sophiatown is one of the most damning portrayals of this police state.
