“Everyman must have somewhere to run.”
Freedom (inspired by Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment) is set in contemporary Johannesburg against the #FeesMustFall student movement. It explores the paradoxical, often limited, notion of "freedom" for born-free South African youth, focusing on the harsh realities of post-apartheid life.
