BORN INTO STRUGGLE
Filmaker Regad Desai takes us on an intimate journey mapped out by the scars etched onto his family's life from having a father who was intensely involved in politics.
Barney Desai was a political hero during South Africa’s struggle for freedom, yet as a father he was damagingly absent emotionally. Rehad spent most of his young life in exile and became politically active himself. Rehad realises he may be following in his father’s own footsteps as he reviews his relationship with his own estranged teenage son.
