The Price of Freedom

Post-film Q&A hosted by Jennifer Leeburn (Cinemas of the Mind) with director Polly Steele, also joined by Jo Maharaj via zoom. Audience members are also invited to gather in Depot's Studio for further discussion about the topics raised in the film following the Q&A.

The Price of Freedom exposes the devastating impact of the political choices that this group of men took in putting their country first.

Whilst the country gained freedom the ‘foot soldiers’, as Mandela called them, continue to suffer the repercussions through to the present day.

The Maharaj family have courageously told their own story against the backdrop of the apartheid regime.

The film throws a light on the hidden world of post liberation trauma that is lived out daily in South Africa and mirrored by thousands of other families around the world who have lived through war and conflict.
