I think this was it...
Also:
"Speaking at a screening as part of the Sundance Festival in London yesterday (April 26), Simon was asked whether he has any regrets of his actions. He replied: "As for regrets, no I don’t have any regrets because it's a happy ending. Would I have done things differently? Perhaps. If anybody had come to me and said, during the recording or in the 16 months between the recording and the release of the record anybody from the ANC had come and said 'we don't want you to do this', or 'we wish you would make some sort of statement supporting us' I would have been very happy to do so.
"But nobody did come to me so I was basically unaware of what was going on, I think perhaps people in the UK were more aware of the cultural boycott, we were not aware.

The word 'cinematographer' also as a nice internal rhythm to it. I'm sure that's not an accident.
