With exclusive, behind-the-scenes access, this film charts the final year in office of South African anti-corruption champion Thuli Madonsela as she attempts to seek justice for ordinary people. After successfully challenging President Jacob Zuma for illegal use of state funds, she faces the biggest challenge of her career: investigating – in the face of protests, death threats and legal challenges – the alleged systematic takeover of government by a private family in cahoots with the President. Shameela Seedat has crafted an absorbing tale of an outstanding lawyer, mother and woman, whilst also providing insight into several continuing critical issues facing South Africa, such as ongoing inequality, racial tensions, land redistribution, and corruption. A political drama that continues to have repercussions in South Africa today
