Lily’s Bioscope is Soweto’s oldest cinema. Situated in Meadowlands Zone 2, it opened its doors in the early '60s at a time when the world-famous township was still a new settlement. For most of its residents, the painful memories of forced removals in government trucks from Sophiatown to this bleak landscape in the shadows of goldmine dumps were still fresh and vivid.
