  • ""Filmmaker Rehad Desai examines South Africa's struggle to democracy through the experiences of his own family. Rehad's father Barney was a freedom fighter before he and his family fled into exile in Britain. There Barney continued to be politically active. Rehad followed in his father's footsteps, and later became more independent from his father's ideas in struggles against inequity and racism. Having spent nearly 30 years in exile, Rehad went back to South Africa with his father to be involved in the country's transition to democracy. Through intimate and candid interviews with family members, the film looks at how each family member was affected by Barney Desai's fight against apartheid.

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. On this intensely personal journey into his past, Rehad realizes he is following in his fathers footsteps as he reviews his relationship with his own estranged teenage son."@en
