Web diary

Nothing I had tried had helped my mother to come out of her isolation or to feel positive about her life or the society around her. Finally in desperation, I proposed going back to South Africa to try and find the man who committed the crime and see if I could get some sort of justice for her. I also proposed making a film about my journey as a way of trying to turn this terrible thing into something that may be helpful to others who are survivors of this crime, and didn’t get any justice. Laura agreed, and I began to make plans to return to South Africa.
